Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Continuing the removal of GPE from Debian. Upstream has been dead for some time (two of these three packages have seen no upstream releases and no Debian uploads since Etch). The environment itself is aimed at a dead platform (iPAQ) and is unsuitable for use on current devices like phones or tablets without widescale modification. I've no interest in maintaining it any longer but rather than simply orphan ~60 packages, I've decided to seek removal on the basis that the orphaned environment would be unmaintainable in the long term. There is zero prospect of GPE ever being ported to GTK3.
I've already contacted Gregor regarding gpesyncd and Hector regarding tslib and each agree that GPE is End of Life. I've already orphaned tslib - it has uses outside GPE and may find a new maintainer independently. Please continue the removal of GPE by removing gpe-syncd, gpe-clock, gpe-edit, gpe-go and gpe-watch from unstable. Thanks. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
