Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hi,
aewm has not seen a new upstream release since 2007, and upstream
seems to have stopped working on it long long time ago.
Furthermore:
- the upstream website is not available anymore
- I cannot find anywhere a potential repository that continues the
development
- it has been "maintained" in Debian with NMUs/QA uploads since 2011
- uses old tech/libs (GTK+ 2)
- it has a very low popcon count (38 at the time I'm writing this)
- plenty of alternatives ("minimalist/lightweights" WMs) exist
Hence, it looks to me it would be a better idea to simply remove aewm
from Debian.
Thanks,
