--- Begin Message ---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, -- Pino
