Bug#914104: gpdftext: Intent to remove from Debian
Source: gpdftext
Version: 0.3.10-3
Severity: serious
Tags: buster sid
X-Debbugs-CC: codehelp@debian.org
gpdftext was orphaned 2 years ago. This is a bit concerning since the
Debian maintainer was also upstream for the package.
Its last maintainer upload was 4 years ago. I did the only QA upload a
year ago to stop using scrollkeeper and modernize the packaging.
gpdftext is one of the last packages in Debian using gconf. Although
gconf will still be in the Debian Buster release, its main purpose
there is to provide the gconf-to-gsettings migration helper.
I intend to remove gpdftext from Debian very soon. Please respond very
promptly if you agree or object to its removal.
