Please remove gnome-shell-mailnag from Debian. - It was orphaned in 2020 https://bugs.debian.org/968541 - It does not currently work https://bugs.debian.org/1078015 - It has been abandoned upstream since 2021 https://github.com/pulb/mailnag-gnome-shell - It actively requires maintenance work for every new major GNOME Shell release twice per year - It depends on mailnag which is also orphaned and abandoned upstream since 2011 Except for one NMU, I have been the sole uploader for the package since 2022. I have confirmed that the last other NMUer, Bage, is ok with this package's removal. I have only been doing uploads to keep the package installable with new GNOME Shell releases; I do not use the package myself. Alternatives ------- - Evolution sends desktop notifications - Thunderbird has a Linux system tray: https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/22/mozilla_thunderbird_ffix/ This might require gnome-shell-extension-appindiator - Webmail also generally can send desktop notifications as long as there is a browser tab open for the email service Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
