Source: libgstreamer1-perl Severity: serious X-Debbugs-Cc: Mike Gabriel <sunwea...@debian.org> User: debian-p...@lists.debian.org Usertags: rm-candidate Hi, upstream announced¹ that the GStreamer Perl module would be deprecated and archived in December 2020: - The module will no longer be updated with security patches, bug fixes, or when changes are made in the Perl ABI. - It will no longer be possible to submit new issues or pull requests for these modules, or push new changes to their Git repos. Therefore, I don't think we should ship this package in Bullseye. Any objection to removing the package from testing & sid? This is a leaf package and popcon is 4/19 (vote/inst).

I don't think that libgstreamer1-perl as found in Debian is the one provided by GNOME/Gtk / referenced in the given URL / deprecation announcement.
Nonetheless, the upstream for libgstreamer1-perl has also been quite inactive over the past years. I will ping Perl people that I know if they are interested in taking over upstream maintenance.
However, I think the above reasoning is wrong / based on wrong upstream reference. Please check.
