Package: wnpp Severity: normal I plan to request removal of xfm, as I think it is no longer useful (libmagic no longer makes definitions available to other packages, so xfm has a outdates copy and most users are no longer capable of using the interface as being trained to expect different behaviour by other graphic file managers.
If you still consider it useful and want to maintain it, feel free to contact me or adopt it directly. I plan to request it's removal otherwise. (I'll have it removed from jessie now and currently plan to request removal from unstable after jessie released). The package description is: Xfm is a file and application manager program for the X Window System, based on the Xaw3d widget set. It provides virtually all of the features that you would expect in a file manager; move around your directory tree in multiple windows, move, copy or delete files, and launch programs with simple mouse operations. Directory displays are updated automatically in regular intervals when the contents of the directory change. The integrated application manager provides a kind of "shelf" onto which you can place your favorite applications, as well as the files and directories you are currently working with. It also allows you to access different groups of applications and files. User-definable file types let you specify a command to be executed when double-clicking on a file or dropping other files onto it. Last not least, xfm can automatically mount and unmount special devices like floppies as you open and close the corresponding directories (mount points). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
