Hi RT,
I assume you prefer to receive this discussion in a transition bug,
therefore submitting it now. For reference, this is a follow-up on
https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2013/05/msg00161.html
or [email protected]
I like to request a transition slot for lesstif2 to (open)motif.
To keep current unstable build-able and installable, I propose the
follow transition path:

I don't think Graham's e-mail ended up on the [email protected] e-mail list, so
I attach it to this mail.
We have started to file bugs on the packages that build depend on
lesstif2-dev but fail to declare all their other dependencies properly:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=lesstif2motif;[email protected]
Unfortunately (due to a nasty bug in dak) openmotif needs to be removed
from non-free/unstable if we are going to move it to main, so if we want
to test the transition in experimental, we won't have a version in
unstable. Openmotif has two reverse dependencies in non-free: arb and
cluster3.

Hi Release Team
Results of test rebuilds on motif's reverse dependencies.
The following packages built with only changing the build-depends on
lesstif2-dev to libmotif-dev:
alliance
ctn
ddd
dx
elk
freesci
geomview
grace
grass
gromacs
inventor
mtink
ncbi-tools6
nedit
njplot
plan
sciplot
twclock
twpsk
via
viewmol
whitedune
xastir
xbae
xball
xmakemol
xmhtml
xmpi
xpuzzles
xshisen
The following packages required an additional build-depends on libxt-dev:
ferret-vis
mesa-glw
sqsh
tcm
xabacus
xpdf
xsol
The following packages required additional build-depends as indicated below:
gridengine - libxft-dev, libxp-dev
hotswap - libxtdev, libxext-dev, libxp-dev
mgdiff - libxt-dev, libxext-dev
xawtv - libxp-dev
xtel - libxpd-dev
I did try running all of the applications, but not being familiar with all
of them, some I just ran to see that a GUI appeared without any error
messages.
I don't believe that any of the packages actually make use of libxp and
therefore the dependencies on libxp-dev can be removed without too much
effort. This is good as we want to get rid of libxp anyway [1].
I did not test rebuilding pcb, cernlib and paw. These packages build
and/or depend on packages with names like pcb-lesstif, libpack-lesstif1-dev
and libpawlib-lesstif3-dev. These should be left up to the maintainers of
these packages to decide what to do with them.

Graham

lesstif2 is no longer in testing, closing this.
