Subject: [gentoo-dev] Removal request for several desktop-wm packages
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2006 03:19:37
Message-Id: 45456E4C.8090907@gentoo.org
1 The desktop-wm herd is understaffed and has a bunch of dead packages
2 lying around which no one wants to maintain. I tried to give a valid
3 alternative for all of the packages I want removed. At first glance, it
4 seems like all of the following packages also have a dead upstream.
5
6 x11-wm/aewm++ -- alternative: pekwm
7 x11-wm/aewm++-goodies -- see above
8 x11-wm/amiwm -- no release since 1998-03-15
9 x11-wm/larswm -- alternative: pekwm
10 x11-wm/lwm -- alternative: pekwm
11 x11-wm/pwm -- bug #149593, alternative: ion
12 x11-wm/wmi -- superceded by wmii
13
14 Please see bug #153388 for further information along with a list of
15 other bugs requesting removal of desktop-wm packages. Discussion can
16 occur here, but all objections should also be posted on the bug itself.

18 Flame now or forever hold your peace. ;)
