Hello everyone, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The kxicq project, though perhaps not officially dead, seems rather catatonic |
| 7 |
(admittedly i haven't tried contacting the developers). The last release was |
| 8 |
over a year ago for kde2, and their cvs hasn't seen any activity for two |
| 9 |
months now; we have a patched snapshot of their CVS that works for kde3, but |
| 10 |
now there's a bugreport against it (#13105). There are several icq clients in |
| 11 |
portage (licq and sim have qt/kde interfaces) and I wouldn't have any |
| 12 |
objection to dropping one that isn't really actively developed anymore. Of |
| 13 |
course, that's likely the maintainer speaking :-) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I'm not saying I've decided to remove the kxicq ebuild, but I'd like to know |
| 16 |
how many people (if at all) use it. If people reply to this saying "yes I use |
| 17 |
it and don't want to switch", the decision will of course be taken out of my |
| 18 |
hands, I won't decide to remove it from portage then. So please mail me if |
| 19 |
that is the case. |

Someone, please forward this to gento-user as I'm not subscribed there. If |
| 22 |
you're reading this anywhere other than the gentoo-dev list, please cc your |
| 23 |
replies to me. (No need to cc replies that don't say you use it.) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Thanks, |
| 26 |
