Update on GNOME 1 cleanup status
Most of the obsolete GNOME 1 packages are gone. Hooray!
Removal of guikachu has been requested. Once this is processed,
this will be what's left. Packages depending on the packages are
listed below each package.
* python-gnome
-- See also #368515.
- xkeysw-config
- Maintainer dima@debian.org
- Maintainer hasn't maintained it
-- last user of python-glade-1.2 binary package; the rest
of these just use python-gtk-1.2
-- kicked out of testing
-- Recommendation: remove from unstable
- scigraphica
- Maintainer ds@schleef.org

* gnome-print
- terraform
-- Maintainer kaol@iki.fi
- gphotocoll
-- Maintainer jblache@debian.org
- cronosii
-- Maintainer seamus@debian.org
- Recommendation: ask kaol@iki.fi, jblache@debian.org, and/or
seamus@debian.org again to maintain gnome-print. If none of them
are interested, drop the package and the dependencies.
* oaf
- sanduhr
- Orphaned
-- Recommendation: Remove from unstable.
- sgcontrol
- Maintainer terry@debian.org
-- Recommendation: contact maintainer regarding removal or
upgrade to GTK2. This is at the top of a tree.
- libgnome-vfs0 and libgnome-vfs-common (gnome-vfs)
- Maintainer kitame@debian.org
- gnome-vfs used by:
- sgcontrol
- gconf and libgconf11
- Maintainer kitame@debian.org
- libgconf11 used by:
- sgcontrol (see above)
- Recommendation: ask terry@debian.org and/or kitame@debian.org
to maintain oaf. If neither is interested, drop the package
(and the whole tree).
* libglade
First the packages depending on libglade-gnome0:
- gnobog
- Orphaned
- kicked out of testing
- multi-gnome-terminal
- Orphaned
- gnotepad+
- Maintainer lmamame@debian.org
- gnomp3
- Maintainer uwe@debian.org
- gnome-think
- Orphaned
- gnome-find
- Maintainer yooseong@debian.org
- gnome-chess
- Maintainer srittau@debian.org
- gabber
- Maintainer goedson@debian.org
- kicked out of testing
- bins
- Maintainer rousseau@debian.org, comaintainer tbm@cyrius.com
Now the packages depending only on libglade0:
- stars
- maintainer bfurry@nac.net
- xemacs21
- maintainer ohura@debian.org
- python-glade-1.2
- only used by xkeyswconfig, see above
- Recommendation: There are a lot of users of libglade still.
Any one of the above maintainers might want to pick it up; even
if nobody does it should probably still be kept for now.
These should be the priority packages for conversion, since after
the removal of the above packages, these will be at the top of
the dependency chain.
* gnome-libs
- Loads of depending packages: all of the above plus more.
Definitely can't be removed soon. I wouldn't work too hard
on converting the packages which depend only on this, at this
point.
* imlib
- Loads of depending packages: all of the above plus more.
Definitely can't be removed soon. We can't even drop
gdk-imlib11-dev yet, as there are still so many packages which
use it.
- It's possible the gtk+1.2 maintainer might be interested in this
one, since a lot of the same packages depend on both.
