Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], Hideki Yamane <[email protected]>, HAYASHI Kentaro <[email protected]> Control: affects -1 + src:sylpheed User: [email protected] Usertags: remove
Hi ftpmasters! I'm requesting the removal of the sylpheed package from the archive, mainly because of upstream inactivity since it migrated to github. Upstream has also removed the project mailing list a few months ago, leaving only github issues as communication channel. Issues are being ignored so far, even the ones with patches. Among other issues project still depends on GTK+2 libraries, and there's no hint a migration is happening. Users can switch with little effort to claws-mail, which has a similar interface and operation, and is still maintained upstream. thanks in advance, -- Ricardo Mones http://people.debian.org/~mones «Laura's Law: No child throws up in the bathroom.»
