[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#669226: RM: semidef-oct -- ROM; no upstream; similar functionality provided by sdpam

[Sébastien Villemot]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

The author of this package has passed away, and nobody took up its maintenance
upstream. The upstream package is no longer distributed on a public website.

Note that even though I am not listed in the Uploaders field of semidef-oct, I
am an active member of the Debian Octave Group [1]. Also, Thomas Weber publicly
expressed his desire to remove the package [2].

Thanks,
