Description: |
2 |
GNOME 1.x is no longer supported by upstream GNOME developers. |
3 |
Maintaining GNOME 1.x adds unnecessary complexity to the Gentoo GNOME |
4 |
developers' workload. Some of the contributing factors are security |
5 |
vulnerabilities, as-needed fixes, and general breakages over time due to |
6 |
lower level package changes. |

Resolution: |
9 |
The GNOME herd has decided to remove GNOME 1.x and its dependent packages |
10 |
from the tree. GTK+-1 and glib-1 will not be removed at this time however. |
11 |
Effective a week from this message (15/11/2006), the attached package list |
12 |
will be masked for 30 days and then the packages will be removed from the |
13 |
tree on (15/12/2006). |

|

How to dispute the resolution: |
16 |
1) You can comment on bug #154102, OR |
17 |
2) Contact the GNOME herd on freenode in #gentoo-desktop, OR |
18 |
3) Email the herd lead, allanonjl@g.o |

Please do NOT reply to this message with a reason why package X should not be |
21 |
masked. If you feel strongly about a package, please port it to GTK+-2 and |
22 |
submit patches on a new bug. |

We apologize for any inconvenience. |
