Bug#540692: RM: trivial-sockets -- ROM; dead upstream, replaced by usocket

[Luca Capello]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi there!

trivial-sockets is dead upstream and usocket is the "official"
replacement:

  http://www.cliki.net/trivial-sockets
  http://common-lisp.net/project/usocket/

While usocket's author provides a migration library (called
trivial-usocket, not available in Debian), I do not think that having
that in Debian is worth the effort, also considering the low popcon
userbase (53 for trivial-sockets and 57 for usocket, in both cases no
new installations).

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
