XOrg transition, status of libxaw8
Hi,
I recall that it was announced that libxaw8 should be dropped, but I
can only find discussions on the X list and
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/01/msg00409.html.
Packages are starting to FTBFS because libxaw8 has not yet been adapted
to the new Xorg directories (http://bugs.debian.org/365597), and there
are two possible ways to fix this: Either fix libxaw8-dev, or
alternatively prevent libxaw8-dev from being used.
My question is now whether to switch away from libxaw8 is a wishlist
issue or in fact a fixed plan? What's the appropriate severity for
"drop libxaw8" bugs, and what should maintainers do?
Regards, Frank
