The recent discussion on debian-emacsen about Emacs 22 has prompted
me to rethink my involvement in Emacs for Debian, and I realized
that I have ignored the GFDL problem for much too long. There is
now very little hope for a reversal of this situation, and for
better or worse, GNU manuals are now considered non-free in Debian.
I have absolutely no intention of stripping emacs-snapshot of its
manuals. I consider this solution both a disservice to our users,
and an insult to the upstream developers (and since I am somewhat
active upstream, this includes myself). Moving emacs-snapshot
itself to non-free (which is, as we all know, not part of Debian)
isn't attractive either.
The conclusion is that I have chosen to orphan emacs-snapshot,
effective in the just uploaded version 20070302-1 which corresponds
to Emacs 22.0.95, possibly the last pretest before the 22.1 release.
This will leave me without a usable Debian-packaged version of
Emacs, I am therefore also orphaning the following packages:
=2D tramp
=2D bongo
I will also stop acting as a sponsor for the following packages:
=2D erc
=2D emacs-wiki
=2D muse-el
=2D planner-el
=2D remember-el
Cheers,
=2D-=20
