Zoneminder removed from Debian Wheezy repos?

[muttnik]

It appears that Zoneminder has been removed from Wheezy. The packages,debian,org / wheezy / zoneminder page is empty. (I would post a real link to the page, but this forum thinks my message looks too "spamy".)

Google's cached version of that page from 07-22-2012 shows that it existed at that time.

What gives?

After some more digging I answered my own question...

It appears Zoneminder 1.25 was auto-removed due to its dependency on mootools: lists,debian,org/debian-release/2012/08/msg00094.html

mootools was removed due to its dependency on node-uglify: bugs,debian,org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=682265

(Again, sorry for the mangled spam-filter-safe URLs.)

Damn shame. The guy doing the debian maint seems to have moved on elsewhere - I dropped him a line last year after 1.25 and he responded but said was busy.

Guess unless somebody takes it on we'll be back to compiling the silly thing in future
