Subject: Bug#3229: gzip package missing from ftp.debian.org

From: Oliver Schoett <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 6 Jun 96 00:21 MET DST

Package: ftp.debian.org
Version: 1996-06-04

On two mirrors of ftp.debian.org, I did not find a gzip package in
unstable/binary-i386/base/ (ftp.debian.org itself is too busy to let
me check).

It used to be there (I got version 1.2.4-10), and it seems to be
necessary for people who want to upgrade from 0.93 to 1.1.

Aaaaaargh !

What happened to it ?  Can anyone say why it was deleted ?  We appear
not to have any source or diffs either.

If the package maintainer (the most recent maintainer I have for this
is Bdale Garbee <[email-masked]>) would like to reupload their latest
package they should do so.

Otherwise we'll be asking for someone who blew a CD-writeable recently
to send us the diffs (we can make do with just the debian diff, as we
can apply it to a recent GNU source package).

Ian.

The ls-lR doesn't contain the files but it does contain the gzip.deb
symbolic link in msdos-i386.  The gzip.deb link in msdos-i386 isn't
there now.

Ian's scripts call mklslar first (aside - shouldn't that be last?).
Ergo the files were lost between one and two crontab runs ago.

Bdale - email me as soon as you reupload 1.2.4-10 so I can install it.

I have just re-uploaded gzip-1.2.4-10.* to master.debian.org's Incoming
directory.
