Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hi,

The X Strike Force would like to get rid of xfs; it's not needed in most
(all?) use cases, since most X clients now use Xft and/or pango to
render text, not core X fonts (even emacs, these days! :))

So xfs wants to either get removed or get a new maintainer.  Maybe LTSP
people, if they still use this?

Description: X font server
 xfs is a daemon that listens on a network port and serves X fonts to X
 servers (and thus to X clients).  All X servers have the ability to serve
 locally installed fonts for themselves, but xfs makes it possible to offload
 that job from the X server, and/or have a central repository of fonts on a
 networked machine running xfs so that all the machines running X servers on a
 network do not require their own set of fonts.  xfs may also be invoked by
 users to, for instance, make available X fonts in user accounts that are not
 available to the X server or to an already running system xfs.

Current packaging is at git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/app/xfs

Cheers,
Julien
