Hi, I had been using sylpheed before & clawsmail more recently. I do think it's time to drop the ball:
i.e: 1) RM src:sylpheed 2) let src:claws-mail provide a "sylpheed" transitional package, 3) maybe with a config migration script, but this step is not mandatory to get 1 & 2 done. Conveniently the version number of claws-mail is higher than sylpheed's one, so no need for extra debhelper wizardy. (I did somethink like "3" for residualvm -> scummvm but MR was rejected... it's better to discuss first) Greetings > From: Bastian Germann <b...@debian.org> > Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2023 20:15:53 +0200 > > With claws-mail, there is a sylpheed fork available in Debian that has the > porting to GTK 3 done. > sylpheed upstream development seems to have stalled. > Please consider to have a good migration story for users and get rid of > sylpheed for trixie. > From: Ricardo Mones > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1036799 > > This fact joined with the increased slowness of upstream development > during the past years makes me wonder if it's still worth to maintain > Sylpheed within Debian.
