Retiring xkbevd, xkbprint, xkbutils

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As part of the XorgUtilityDeaggregation [1], I'm planning to retire these
three. They're currently part of xorg-x11-xkb-utils-extras, a subpackage of
xorg-x11-xkb-utils (which provides setxkbmap and xkbcomp).

setxkbmap and xkbcomp will be split into their own packages and both will
Obsolete: xorg-x11-xkb-utils.

tigervnc [2] and x2goserver [3] still need to have their Requires fixed, but
otherwise we're good to go here, I think.

For the other three packages, I don't think it's worth the effort of
creating new packages for them:
- xkbprint: one upstream bug report in the last 7 years
- xkbevd: no upstream bug reports
- xkbwatch: one bug report two years ago but with lack of reviewers and
  motivation of the reporter it fizzled out

Upstream development is zero except for the usual janitorial patches that
apply to all xorg packages (like the gitlab switch).

So, right now my plan is to simply retire the xorg-x11-xkb-utils package
once xkbcomp/setxkbmap are avilable and let these three packages descend
into oblivion. They can be resurrected by a willing maintainer as separate
packages if need be.

If that doesn't work for some reason, please speak up now.

Cheers,
   Peter
