Bug#653976: RM: sage -- RoQM, superceeded, unmaintained (also upstream)
Package: wnpp
Followup-For: Bug #653976
Control: reassign 653976 ftp.debian.org
Control: retitle 653976 RM: sage -- RoQM, superceeded, unmaintained (also upstream)
sage can be removed, it also has no r-depends. It is unmaintained (mkoch is MIA)
and last commit on the upstream repository was 2009
(https://github.com/worldforge/sage/commits/master)
I also checked back with Olek (my wordforge expert DM;-)) asking him about if
sage is still useful:
tobi,
The simple answer is that Sage can be removed.
The longer answer is that Sage supported the Sear client but both are no
longer in active development. I believe it's been at least nine years since
they were last updated. Ember development superseded Sear a number of years
ago based on the concept of using third-party tools (such as OGRE) to
simplify the client. This allowed Worldforge to focus on project-specific
tasks instead of reinventing a wheel. Sear had much simpler dependencies
but tried to do everything itself and therefore required much more support
effort.
