Bug#941623: RM: xenwatch -- RoQA; unmaintained, depends on libgtk-vnc-1.0-0
Package: ftp.debian.org
X-Debbugs-Cc: xenwatch@packages.debian.org
Please remove xenwatch from Debian.
xenwatch was orphaned a decade ago and hasn't had an upstream release
since then.
It is currently blocking the upload of gtk-vnc 1.0.0 because the new
version of gtk-vnc drops the old gtk2 bindings (libgtk-vnc-1.0-0).
xenwatch is the only package in Debian to depend on the gtk2 library.
I've never used xenwatch, but I believe there are alternative
maintained apps in Debian like virt-manager, virt-viewer, and
gnome-boxes.
