Hi Steve, Steve George <[email protected]> writes:
I don't think it'd be easy to come up with rules for this, and that it's probably best to leave humans judging the situation. We could have some guidelines though, for things to consider: 0. Does the package provide value? If it's security sensitive and unmaintained for years, the value would appear little to me. 1. Is the package perhaps effectively maintained by others (via a fork, by Debian maintainers, Fedora, etc.) ? If the answer to 0 is positive, someone may have committed to keeping the software at least building. If the package is effectively unmaintained and can't easily be built without a lot of efforts, that may be a good reason to not include it in Guix, I'd think. -- Thanks, Maxim
