OK, Nothing personal against the port. It's just that I think on this port that: - Is "defunct". - The only uniqueness is xpra and is now a separate project. - python 2 only. And my personal concern is that the end of support of python 2 is coming, of course one can not only remove a port just because is not python 3 ready... But in this case in the next years wont be any effort in fixing that. - I don't think that anyone use that port anymore, but no evidence of that, it would be interesting to see the downloads of each package to see if is used, not to make decisions based just on that but it would help in this cases.
So, I will forget about removing for now, but keep it in mind for a possible port cleanup. :) Cheers. Elias. 2018-07-19 10:55 GMT-03:00 Anthony J.
