It's only me who spoke on behalf of LXDE so far :( gtk2 is still alive, |
| 31 |
and lxde said that while it's still alive, the GTK lxde will still be |
| 32 |
supported. After all, lxde-base, as the name implies, is for |
| 33 |
lxde-related packages (maintained by lxde@). The new project is lxqt, |
| 34 |
which makes the lxde category slightly irrelevant. Since the lxde team |
| 35 |
has nothing to do with it, this will add more confusion. That's my |
| 36 |
opinion. Same thing for razor-qt apparently. Fortunately/unfortunately |
| 37 |
there is this tendency to use a distinct category (and set of |
| 38 |
maintainers/herd) for each DE. |

+1 (pcmanfm-qt is already in the tree in x11-misc/, libfm too etc) |
| 56 |
Maybe it's possible to merge obconf and obconf-qt with a new 'qt' use |
| 57 |
flag. The less duplication we do, the less time we will need to spend |
| 58 |
maintaining the packages. |
