hey all.
ladish is pretty much dead.
that said, you could build the project with just the backend/CLI, and
leave the gtk ui behind.
this satisfies cadence (claudia) needs, since it actually implements a
full new frontend for ladish.
if that is not an option, just remove ladish altogether and take it out
as dependency from cadence.
it is not a hard requirement for it to run, it will just lose some features.

hi all,
flowcanvas should definitely removed, and ganv adopted, since it is
being used in newer tools such as Cadence (see
https://github.com/falkTX/Cadence)
ideally, ladish should be switched from using flowcanvas to using ganv.
I started looking at that, but there is quite a few API changes between
flowcanvas and ganv, so it is a bit more than a trivial search and replace.
Maybe drobilla or falktx (CCed) would want to help here?
cheers, piem

flowcanvas depends on numerous obsolete GNOME 2-era libraries
(e.g. #885095) and hasn't had a maintainer upload since 2009. Its
upstream
website says:
**Note**: FlowCanvas is dead, long live Ganv!
ganv is also in Debian as src:ganv; it's orphaned in Debian, but appears
to have commit activity upstream.
flowcanvas has one reverse-dependency in Debian, gladish (src:ladish),
whose most recent maintainer upload was in 2014. web.archive.org says
the ladish.org website has been down since mid 2014.
ladish looks to be maintained by alessio (last commit 20 Apr 2017) here :
https://github.com/alessio/ladish/
(the same goes laditools as well)
These packages both seem like candidates for removal from unstable.
It would be a big regression from a user point of view since it'll remove
the "studio" (reopen everything in one-click) from Debian with no
alternative.
If you agree, please reassign this bug to the ftp team with
cont...@bugs.debian.org commands similar to these:
severity xxxxxx normal
reassign xxxxxx ftp.debian.org
retitle xxxxxx RM: flowcanvas -- RoQA; depends on obsolete libraries,
superseded by ganv
severity yyyyyy normal
reassign yyyyyy ftp.debian.org
retitle yyyyyy RM: ladish -- RoQA; depends on obsolete libraries,
appears unmaintained upstream
(replacing RoQA with RoM if you are a maintainer of the appropriate
package).
Thanks,

Hope that helps.
