Bug#623653: xastir: is the libxp dependency necessary?




-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

Drew,

There are no developers of Xastir on bugs.debian.org that I know of,
thus the CC-ing to the Xastir list.

As I have said before, 1.9.4x is a very old outdated broken version of
Xastir relatively speaking.

Please note that Xastir version 2.x is being promoted here and elsewhere.

Information on the latest STABLE version of Xastir available at
http://www.xastir.org/wiki/Main_Page

Sincerely,
David Aitcheson - KB3EFS
