Source: gxr Version: 0.15.1-4.2 Severity: serious Tags: forky sid upstream User: [email protected] Usertags: oldlibs clutter Control: block 996691 by -1
This package depends on cogl, which has been unmaintained upstream for several years. The GNOME team has been trying to remove cogl and clutter from Debian since at least 2022, but we missed gxr in previous rounds of bug reports because it only depends on the lower-level cogl library. I think it's time we seriously look at removing Clutter and cogl during the Debian 14 cycle, so I'm filing this as RC for forky. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Initiatives/-/issues/31 has some porting notes for projects that are part of GNOME, which might be useful inspiration for porting this package. smcv
