I intend to orphan the xflip package.
The package description is:
Flip your (or your "xhost +" using friend's) screen on either the vertical
or horizontal axis or melt away the graphics on your display. Both commands,
named xflip and meltdown, have a -planes option to independently act on
individual bit planes. This version now comes with a new -oblic option which
flips horizontally and vertically simultaneously.
I once took over xflip for historical reasons: It is a very old toy
program to play pranks via your X server, and I liked the idea that
Debian has software with such a long history.
But I have not used it in years, and don’t think its worth keeping it
alive. We have better things to do. So I give it up for adoption, and
will ask for its removal by the deadline of #800268, i.e. Nov 1st.
Greetings,
Joachim
