Update on GNOME 1 cleanup status

2006-11-28 Thread Nathanael Nerode
Most of the obsolete GNOME 1 packages are gone.  Hooray!

Removal of guikachu has been requested.  Once this is processed,
this will be what's left.  Packages depending on the packages are
listed below each package.

* python-gnome
  -- See also #368515.
  - xkeysw-config
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- Maintainer hasn't maintained it
-- last user of python-glade-1.2 binary package; the rest
   of these just use python-gtk-1.2
-- kicked out of testing
-- Recommendation: remove from unstable
  - scigraphica
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-- kicked out of testing
-- Recommendation: contact maintainer regarding gtk2
  - gaby
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-- Recommendation: contact maintainer regarding gtk2
  - sql-editor
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- Experimental as well as obsolete.
-- Recommendation: contact maintainer regarding removal
  - pydict
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- Maintainer probably MIA, last upload in 2002
- unchanged since stable
-- Recommendation: remove from unstable
* gnome-print
  - terraform
-- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  - gphotocoll
-- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  - cronosii
-- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  - Recommendation: ask [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], and/or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] again to maintain gnome-print.  If none of them
are interested, drop the package and the dependencies.
* oaf
  - sanduhr
- Orphaned
-- Recommendation: Remove from unstable.
  - sgcontrol
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-- Recommendation: contact maintainer regarding removal or
   upgrade to GTK2.  This is at the top of a tree.
  - libgnome-vfs0 and libgnome-vfs-common (gnome-vfs)
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- gnome-vfs used by:
  - sgcontrol
  - gconf and libgconf11
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- libgconf11 used by:
  - sgcontrol (see above)
  - Recommendation: ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] and/or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to maintain oaf.  If neither is interested, drop the package
(and the whole tree).
* libglade
  First the packages depending on libglade-gnome0:
  - gnobog
- Orphaned
- kicked out of testing
  - multi-gnome-terminal
- Orphaned
  - gnotepad+
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  - gnomp3
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  - gnome-think
- Orphaned
  - gnome-find
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  - gnome-chess
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  - gabber
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- kicked out of testing
  - bins
- Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED], comaintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Now the packages depending only on libglade0:
  - stars
- maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  - xemacs21
- maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  - python-glade-1.2
- only used by xkeyswconfig, see above
  - Recommendation: There are a lot of users of libglade still.
Any one of the above maintainers might want to pick it up; even 
if nobody does it should probably still be kept for now.
These should be the priority packages for conversion, since after
the removal of the above packages, these will be at the top of
the dependency chain.
* gnome-libs
  - Loads of depending packages: all of the above plus more.
Definitely can't be removed soon.  I wouldn't work too hard
on converting the packages which depend only on this, at this
point.
* imlib
  - Loads of depending packages: all of the above plus more.
Definitely can't be removed soon.  We can't even drop
gdk-imlib11-dev yet, as there are still so many packages which
use it.
  - It's possible the gtk+1.2 maintainer might be interested in this
one, since a lot of the same packages depend on both.

Update on orphaned packages with very low popcon numbers

2006-11-28 Thread Nathanael Nerode
Revisiting http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2006/09/msg00013.html .

Some have been ITAed or adopted and are removed from the list.  :-)
Others have been removed from Debian or removal requests filed (some by me)
and are likewise removed from the list.  :-)

It looks like we could use a Korean-speaking maintainer for hanterm-xf
and manpages-ko.

In "non-free":
qla2x00: 11 (4 votes)
-- this should be expected to have low popcon counts.
   But if nobody cares enough to fix the bugs (I don't),
   removal should be requested: it is non-free, after all.
