Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal I am Gitano's upstream as well as the package maintainer in Debian. From an upstream perspective I consider Gitano to basically be obsolete. There are only very few installations, nobody has contributed bug reports or patches in a very long time, and while that could be considered a stability indicator, I know there are plenty of problems in the codebase.
In addition, the package in unstable now FTBFS (#975802) and one of the lua libraries (gall) will become a pain with the libgit2 transition which is still staged in experimental AFAICT. As such, I think all of the listed source packages should be removed before bullseye so that there's no risk of this unsupportable software being used by Debian's users and thus getting a bad impression of Debian. As far as I can tell, there are no packages which depend on the given list of source packages beyond this little gitano cluster, so it should all be perfectly safe to remove.
