This source package Build-Depends on gnome-common, a collection of autoconf macros formerly used by GNOME, which was deprecated 10 years ago. gnome-common is now unmaintained upstream and has been moved to a read-only archive, meaning that issue reports and merge requests will not be accepted, even if a serious problem is found. Please remove this dependency. One popular way to do this is to convert the upstream build system from Autotools to Meson (or CMake) which will often make it more maintainable and understandable. Meson is now GNOME's preferred build system. If the upstream developer prefers to stay with Autotools, please replace gnome-common Autoconf macros with autoconf-archive Autoconf macros, and replace gnome-autogen.sh with a local copy. For more details see GNOME's porting guide: * https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects(2f)GnomeCommon(2f)Migration.html wiki.gnome.org is also being phased out. If it disappears, use this archived copy of the porting guide: * https://web.archive.org/web/20250829115144/https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects(2f)GnomeCommon(2f)Migration.html Thanks, smcv
