A year later, it's now clear this is not going to happen:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gprename/bugs/18/
… where upstream says they've given up and would rather port the code
to Tk Python.
I also notice that:
- We're shipping a version from 2014. There's been several new
upstream releases since.
- 2 open bug reports filed 3 years ago in the Debian BTS have not
been answered.
This suggests to me that you lack interest and/or capacity to actively
maintain this package. It's OK: there are several other batch renaming
GUIs in the archive :)
Would you mind if we remove gprename from the archive?
Of course, it'll be possible to reintroduce it in Debian
once the program is ported to a non-deprecated GUI toolkit.
Cheers!
