hi all, flowcanvas should definitely removed, and ganv adopted, since it is being used in newer tools such as Cadence (see https://github.com/falkTX/Cadence)
ideally, ladish should be switched from using flowcanvas to using ganv. I started looking at that, but there is quite a few API changes between flowcanvas and ganv, so it is a bit more than a trivial search and replace. Maybe drobilla or falktx (CCed) would want to help here? cheers, piem On 01/28/2018 03:12 PM, treb...@tuxfamily.org wrote: > Le 2018-01-28 14:38, Simon McVittie a écrit : >> Source: flowcanvas >> Severity: important >> User: debian...@lists.debian.org >> Usertags: proposed-removal >> Control: clone -1 -2 >> Control: reassign -2 ladish >> Control: retitle -2 ladish: should this package be removed? >> >> flowcanvas depends on numerous obsolete GNOME 2-era libraries >> (e.g. #885095) and hasn't had a maintainer upload since 2009.
