I've adopted lib32-mikmod, libiec61883, libsoxr, python2-musicbrainz2, schroedinger, vdpauinfo, and mediainfo-gui. I will drop in the near future: - faience-icon-theme as it's getting very old, faenza-icon-theme can probably go down with it - vbam-*, we have mgba which is far superior and doesn't use wxwidgets (ugh), gtkglextmm can therefore be dropped as well - bzr-fastimport, no interest in maintaining that one anymore, who still uses bazaar anyway (cough canonical cough) Cheers, -- Maxime
