Hello everyone.
I try to clean up a little our distribution, because some packages are unmaintained for a while or they just use depreciated protocols, whatever. But Like DimStar told me, I should ask others maintainers opinions about it. So I made a list in two parts, a first with obsolete packages and their possible replacements, and a second with packages which could be simply removed.
camsource > cheese As we discussed in your drop request, cheese is a UI tool.
camsource is a quite complex commandline / webcam webserver tool, it has an entirely different usage pattern.
freetype > freetype2 We can drop freetype if the last user is gone or converted, (currently: gltt, libLASi, mupdf, openttd, font-specimen, tuxpaint, texlive, VFlib3)
##### compat-openssl097g For this package I just filed a drop request. Had no idea this unsecure thing was still there.
a2ps This might probably still be used by people, even if enscript offers similar functionality.
CIao, Marcus For a2ps, I found an interesting alternative. Unfortunately, I can't remember what. For camsource, I just didn't delete it from the list, don't worry :).
The a2ps alternative is called enscript. In general, dropping broken and insecure things is good. If it still builds, has no security issues and might be usable to someone ... well, I don't know :/ CIao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
