Re: [opensuse-factory] Package scheduled for removal from openSUSE:Factory

actual project web address is apparently http://www.swi-prolog.org/packages/xpce/ or even http://www.swi-prolog.org/ On Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 3:52 PM, Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger wrote:

zypper info swipl Information for package swipl:

---

Repository : Tumbleweed Name : swipl Version : 7.2.2-1.8 Description : Edinburgh-style Prolog compiler including modules, autoload, libraries, Garbage collector, stack expandor, C interface, GNU readline and GNU Emacs interface, a very fast compiler,and an X11 interface using XPCE (see http://www.swi.psy.uva.nl/projects/xpce).

If you care for this package - then this is your chance now to step up and claim maintainership and save it - not by words, but by actions.

If you intend on working on it, please shoot me a message so I'm aware of it, including an estimated timeframe when you expect to have a fix ready. A couple more days or less won't hurt of course.

But without any reaction, this package is history in a couple days.

Cheers, Dominique
