Bug#895037: libappindicator: deprecated in Debian; AppIndicator based applications, please switch to Ayatana (App)Indicator(s)
Package: src:libappindicator Severity: serious The libappindicator package is currently QA team maintained in Debian and shall be phased out hopfully during the buster release cycle. The alternative (maintained upstream and Debian-downstream) is libayatana-appindicator. There is a lot of porting work to do (little patches are required for each application), to let all AppIndicator aware applications build against the new and supported AppIndicator shared lib fork "libayatana-appindicator". For details, please see [1] For a list of applications that require porting and the porting status, see [2] Greets, Mike [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2018/03/msg00506.html [2] https://wiki.debian.org/Ayatana/IndicatorsTransition -- mike gabriel aka sunweaver (Debian Developer) mobile: +49 (1520) 1976 148 landline: +49 (4354) 8390 139 GnuPG Fingerprint: 9BFB AEE8 6C0A A5FF BF22 0782 9AF4 6B30 2577 1B31 mail: sunwea...@debian.org, http://sunweavers.net pgpbrALFsVnI6.pgp Description: Digitale PGP-Signatur
