I'm jumping into a thread where I wasn't particularly asked, but in case it's useful I also read through all of these and I agree with this list as well. There wasn't anything on this list that jumped out at me and felt like "it would really be useful to keep this package around." Some additional notes: > ezmlm -- easy-to-use high-speed mailing list manager for qmail [#223877] Non-free, so I assume this is actually an installer package. Really probably more trouble than it's worth to deal with. > pgperl -- perl interface to the pgplot plotting library [#279820] This is the only package that we both also have installed at Stanford on other platforms and that was requested by users in the past. However, I have heard nothing about it in quite a while. > rtf2latex -- Convert RTF files to LaTeX [#201967] This package has, and always has had, significant problems and limitations. I've never been able to successfully use it for a significant project, and I've tried several times. > xfonts-biznet-iso-8859-2 -- 100 dpi BIZNET ISO-8859-2 fonts for X servers. > [#237476] This went away, didn't it? I seem to remember seeing this get removed as part of an apt-get dist-upgrade. > yencode -- Powerful yEnc decoder/encoder [#239960] There are plenty of other packages that can handle yEnc at this point. > x-ttcidfont-conf -- Configure TrueType and CID fonts [#201376] If someone has a chance to explain this one, I'm really curious what's up with it. I never really understood what this package did or what it's role in the whole X font situation is, but I've seen a few recommendations and guides that say to install it. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
