Source: avalon-framework Priority: wishlist Could we RM this package? It was officially abandoned by upstream in 2004[1]. There was an upload to Maven Central in 2007, but it doesn't seem to have gone through source control: the last commit was in 2004. It FTBFS with openjdk-9, will require the source patching.
The reverse depends (in sid, today) are: * libfop-java (>= 1:2.1-7) As fop is really popular, the popcon of libavalon-framework-java is very artificially inflated. It is in the build-deps of nearly everything. fop depends on only the configuration parser (and, in test, logging), which I am trying to get upstream to remove[2], and have a patch for HEAD[3]. * jmeter (2.13-3) * libexcalibur-logger-java (2.1-6) jmeter upstream (3.2) has moved off this logging framework to slf4j, dropping the dependency on avalon-framework. The logging framework has no other rdeps, so could also be removed. * libtrang-java (20131210+dfsg+1-6) libtrang upstream have also removed references to avalon-framework. * libjaxe-java (3.5-8) Part of the "jaxe" XML editor, dead upstream. I'm going to have a look at fixing it. * scilab-full-bin (5.5.2-5) Pretty sure this doesn't actually depend on avalon-framework at all; looks like it's just trying to pull it in to fix fop? I'm not entirely sure, hard to test without rebuilding Debian's fop without avalon.
