Bug#941616: codelite: Should codelite be removed from Debian?



Source: codelite
Version: 12.0+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

I think it's time to remove the codelite package:

* orphaned for more than 2.5 years with no expressions of interest in
  adoption
* package is currently uninstallable (in unstable and probably testing
  too) and so RC buggy
* has no reverse dependencies (according to dak rm)
* there's a newer upstream version, but it's a rather complex package to
  update to a new upstream as a QA upload
* a blocker for the current wxwidgets3.0-gtk3 transition, but upstream's
  changelog for 13.0 includes "Make CodeLite compile and run against GTK3"
  so updating to a new upstream seems likely to be required
* upstream offer "unofficial" packages built for debian stretch and buster

If there are no objections within two weeks, I'll turn this into an RM
bug.

Cheers,
    Olly
