I did adopt some of his packages despite his maintainership some time ago...
So no objections.

[arch-dev-public] Request to orphan Snowman's packages
Eric Bélanger (Snowman) was inactive as package maintainer in the past two years. [1][2] Is it possible to disown his packages on archweb? I think it would better to make it visible that his packages are actually orphan. https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/log/?qt=author=eric https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/log/?qt=author=eric -- György Balló Trusted User signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
[arch-dev-public] Proposal to remove libglade
Hi all, Similar to my previous mail, I orphaned some of my packages which have a dependency on libglade. Libglade is deprecated in favor of GtkBuilder since 2009, [1] and does not receive any fixes since then. I would propose to remove it from the official repositories. The following packages were ported from libglade to GtkBuilder, but not released yet: - deluge (via pygtk.glade, only the GUI part) - gespeaker (via pygtk.glade) - obconf - ogmrip The following packages were not ported yet, and most of them have inactive upstream: - agave (via libglademm) - bless (via glade-sharp) - foxtrotgps - fyre - gnome-hearts - gnome-schedule (via pygtk.glade) - gsql - keepnote (via pygtk.glade) - labyrinth (via pygtk.glade) - lat (via glade-sharp) - mono-tools (via glade-sharp) - muine (via glade-sharp) - netactview - obmenu (via pygtk.glade) - planner - pympd (via pygtk.glade) - python2-matplotlib (via pygtk.glade, only the GTKAgg and GTKCairo backends, which were already removed from git master) - rox-lib (via pygtk.glade) - scribes (via pygtk.glade) - smuxi (via glade-sharp) - tuna (via pygtk.glade, only the GUI part) - vmoviedb - xournal (via libgnomecanvas) - xscreensaver (only the xscreensaver-demo GUI) After the above packages were fixed or removed, libglade support can be disabled in the following packages: - gtk-sharp-2 - pygtk After that libglade and related packages can be removed: - glade-perl - gnet - lib32-libglade - libart-lgpl - libglade - libglademm - libgnomecanvas Any objections?

I would like to rename the package to lcms1 with replace and provide for lcms. Any concerns? I don't think we should rename. Kill the package instead. The software is unmaintained upstream and probably several security issues exist. Most packages that still depend on lcms1 can be changed to lcms2 without patches. For packages that need patches, Debian has those and otherwise we should just remove the software together with lcms1.
