1 Hi,
2
3 I got this oupt while updateing:
4
5 !!! The following installed packages are masked:
6 - x11-misc/tintwizard-0.3.4-r3::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
7 /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
8 # Andreas Sturmlechner <asturm@g.o> (2020-02-26)
9 # Unmaintained revdeps on dev-python/pygtk blocking its removal, py2-only
10 # All masked for removal in 30 days.
11 # Last release in 2011, bug #708106
12 # No plans upstream to port away from pygtk, suggested alternative dupeguru
13 # not packaged in Gentoo, bug #708112
14 # Last release in 2012, bug #708124
15 # Last release in 2012, bug #708142
16 # Last release in 2011, bug #708150
17
18 I interpret this as:
19
20 tintwizard will be removed because of being Unmaintained and python-2
21 base.
22
23 As an alternative, "dupeguru" is suggestet.
24
25 The description of tintwizard is:
26 "GUI wizard which generates config files for tint2 panels"
27
28 dupeguru isn't in the repository so I searched for it and found:
29 "dupeGuru is a cross-platform (Linux, OS X, Windows) GUI tool to find
30 duplicate files in a system."
31
32 Both application seem to have silightly different use cases.
33
34 Or what dupeguru is meant here?
35
36 Cheers!
