it seems to me, that people have thought that, since the day LXQT was started; though it has never been the case - you could think of LXDE as "feature complete" and in "maintenance mode" - IMHO, that is one of it's most attractive properties to call software "dead" or "alive" is vacuous - that depends on one's own criteria - software is not "dead" until the last maintainer stops maintaining it, and the last user stops using it - even then, it is merely "dormant", awaiting new maintainers and new users if the criteria for "alive" is new features being added perpetually; then i would agree that LXDE is not so "alive" - but that is not a goal of the project - the goal is for LXDE to continue doing what it needs to do, for the people who want a truly lightweight and feature-complete DE - there has been little new - progress; because none is needed - it "just works" - the current maintainers only need to ensure that it continues to "just work" WRT distro package maintainers, that is a distro-specific concern - AFAIK, LXDE is well maintained in arch and debian _______________________________________________ Lxde-list mailing list Lxde-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxde-list
