I took xload since I actually like its simplicity and use it quite often.

This is a very conservative list of packages, there are likely more
that should be on this list but for now, this is a start.

If you are using any of the above, please let me know and I'll hand the
package over to you - it's either retirement or you take over the package
maintainership.


Please, orphan the packages instead. They will be retired in 6 weeks if 
nobody takes them.

don't worry, xeyes will stay around for the forseeable future, so just
direct all your sentinmental memories to that :)

Wow.  Can't argue that any of them should be in Fedora (although xlogo
is in the X11 menu on my Mac! ;-), but seeing those retired is like
going back to my hometown and discovering that my elementary school
was replaced by a personal finance consultancy and barbershop.  :-)

I was about to say gnome-font-viewer but that doesn't seem to list the old X
fonts (or requires conversion or something). So, tbh, I'm not sure there is
one.

Retiring a set of old X utilities

2021-04-21 Thread Peter Hutterer
Now that the XorgUtilityDeaggregation [1] is complete, I'm planning to
retire a set of old X utilities that I think don't need to be in Fedora:

oclock
xbiff
xload
xman
xrefresh
xlogo
xpr
xfd
viewres

xconsole

This is a very conservative list of packages, there are likely more
that should be on this list but for now, this is a start.
