X-Spam-Level:
I don't intend to package rwin anymore. There are a few reasons for this,
that I'll try to explain here ;
- First, rwin developpement seems to have stopped. No patch has been applied
in 6 months, including the few ones I submitted to fix some endianness
problems.
- rwin had, when I decided to package it, quite interesting features, that
rdesktop had not. It turns out that rdesktop has filled the gap and
implemented even more interesting features.
- rwin is really a pita to package for multiple arches. This is not a real
valuable argument, but that contributes, given the situation, to my
decision not to go on with packaging rwin.
If anyone has comment on this decision, don't hesitate to drop me a few
lines.
