Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hi,
sapphire has not seen a new upstream release since 2002 (!), and
upstream seems to have stopped working on it long long time ago.
Furthermore:
- the upstream website is a SourceForce page that only hosts very old
releases, and has no source repositories
- I cannot find anywhere a potential repository that continues the
development
- the last maintainer upload was in 2009, and since then it got only
one NMU in 2017
- currently FTBFSes due to the very old packaging
- it has a very low popcon count (19 at the time I'm writing this)
- plenty of alternatives ("minimalist/lightweights" WMs) exist
Hence, it looks to me it would be a better idea to simply remove
sapphire from Debian.
Thanks,
