Techne is a general purpose, programmable physical simulator and renderer [1]. Billiards is a cue sports simulator built on top of the Techne written by the same author [2]. Currently, billiards in the only package that requires techne. The reasons why I intent to retire them are the following: - Techne depends on webkitgtk which has been retired in Rawhide on Mar 14 2017 [3]. - Upon asking the upstream author whether he has any plans on updating Techne to WebKit2 [4], he said that he hasn't worked on that version of Techne (required by Billiards) for a while and that he hasn't had any communication on Billiards for a long time. - The last release of Billiards is from May 22 2012. - The last release of Techne that is required by Billiards is from May 21 2012. Therefore, I intent to retire both packages in Rawhide in a week.
