Bug#902498: gtk2-engines-cleanice: Should this package be removed?

[Boyuan Yang]

X-Debbugs-CC: stanislav.maslov...@gmail.com un...@debian.org

If there is no objection, I plan to convert this bug report to removal
request 28 days later (after Dec 28, 2023).

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang

Bug#902498: gtk2-engines-cleanice: Should this package be removed?

[Simon McVittie]

Source: gtk2-engines-cleanice
Severity: normal
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: proposed-removal

GTK+-2-only themes do not seem particularly useful now that the only
supported web browsers in Debian (Firefox and Chromium) have switched
to GTK+ 3, making it impractical to run a Debian desktop system without
GTK+ 3.

(See also  and
.)

This theme hasn't had an upstream release since 2007 and hasn't had
activity in Debian since 2010, so it seems highly unlikely that it will
be updated for GTK+ 3. Should it be removed from Debian?

If so, please reassign this bug to the archive administrators with
control commands similar to these:

Control: severity xx normal
Control: reassign xx ftp.debian.org
Control: retitle xx RM: gtk2-engines-cleanice -- RoQA; obsolete, doesn't 
support gtk3

(Replace RoQA with RoM if you are the maintainer.)

Conversely, if you think this package should remain in Debian, please
close this bug. This would likely involve becoming its de facto upstream
maintainer.

dak does not find any dependencies that would be broken by removing this.

Thanks,
