gmpc-plugins has not been in testing since the beginning of 2026 due to
its dependency on the unmaintained GTK 2. It is a collection of plugins
for gmpc, which is dead upstream. The plugins themselves are
increasingly dead, and many of them have already had to be disabled
because they were no longer viable.
I think it's time to remove this from Debian. Alternatives to gmpc
include cantata, plattenalbum and sonata, possibly combined with mpdris2
and desktop environment MPRIS integration (I mostly use mpdris2 and
cantata myself).
Reporting this as "request of maintainer" since all uploads after 2016
have been team uploads from me, so I'm its de facto maintainer whether I
wanted to be or not.
