Hi, After considering porter NMU on xview, I think x11 toolkit can safely be canned as museumware. Most damning is the lack of 64bit support. See #228957 and #320155, although a patch was produduced nobody bothered, applying it, nor is the author confident that patch is correct.
The upstream is much more dead the gtk-1.2 which has also been considered for removal. There appears to be five reverse dependencies, none of which seem to be a big loss of functionalyty. Maintainers of affected packages CC'd. xview - not available on 64bit architectures - upstream dead. last (minor) upstream version released 1997 - last maintainer upload 2 years ago - only few reverse dependencies - relatevely low popcon count 500 reverse dependencies: xvmount - multiple replacements available - low popcon count 74 - last upstream release 2003 circlepack - only xviewg-depending package without non-xview replacement - low popcon count 20 - last upstream release 2002 imaze - package includes xaw and lesstiff versions too - xview version has low popcon count 79 -> drop xview version workman - multiple replacements available - low popcon count (82) - last upstream release 1997 jove: - xview only needed for xjove - xjove has low popcon count 23 -- "rm -rf" only sounds scary if you don't have backups -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
