Package: gfontview
Version: 0.5.0-9
Severity: serious
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Usertags: proposed-removal
Hi,
While reviewing some packages, your package came up as a possible
candidate for removal from Debian, because:
* Debian package is Orphaned
* Upstream has been inactive for 6+ years
* Needs gnome1 libs which are scheduled to be removed
* Only works with libfreetyp1 which is also scheduled for removal
It does have a high popcon score but I don't see how this package will be viable. Upstream supposedly started a 0.6.0 version that uses freetype2
but again it has been dormant for years.
If you agree, sending the following commands to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
should do it (after replacing nnnnnn with this bug's number):
severity nnnnnn normal
reassign nnnnnn ftp.debian.org
retitle nnnnnn RM: <packagename> -- RoM; <reasons>
thanks
For more information, see

If you disagree and want to continue to maintain this package, please
just close this bug, preferably in an upload also fixing the other
issues.
Thank you,
Barry deFreese
