Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the gtk+extra2 package.

See: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/05/msg00627.html

"GTK+extra is long dead upstream and the previous large reverse
dependency, scigraphica, has already been removed from Debian.
(scigraphics was IIRC, the main reason for having gtk+extra1
in the first place.)

The chances of gtk+extra2 making it into Squeeze are low, principally
because there is simply too much to do to get gtk+extra2 into any kind
of compatibility with GTK+3."

There was some discussion about gtk+extra2 being handled by the libgtkada2
maintainers but I've decided to make it clear that gtk+extra2 itself
is not under active maintenance.

I've already requested removal of quicklist. See #540337.

The package description is:
 Shared libraries for GtkExtra
 .
 Widgets included:
 .
 GtkSheet - A matrix widget, which consists of a scrollable grid of cells.
 .
 GtkPlot - A widget to draw high quality scientific plots in two dimensions
 with a look and feel very similar to Microcal Origin for Windows.
 .
 GtkIconList - A GtkLayout subclass that allows you to display a table of xpm
 icons with editable labels.
 .
 GtkDirTree - A GtkCTree subclass that allows you to navigate the file-system.
 .
 GtkFileList - A GtkIconList subclass that displays the contents of a given
 directory using fancy icons for different types of files.
 .
 GtkIconFileSelection - A nice looking file selection dialog combining
 GtkDirTree and GtkFileList.  It also has two entries to select the file and
 filter.
 .
 GtkItemEntry - A GtkEntry subclass which either be a fixed size or be
 dynamically resized when the text is entered.  You can also change text
 justification and the foreground and background colors very easily.

 PostScript fonts, the font size, and bold or italics.  It returns the name
 of the corresponding Postscript font and the equivalent Xfont.
 .
 GtkComboBox - A composite widget with two buttons, one of which is an arrow to
 display a popdown window where you can pack whatever you want, from a
 calendar to a clist.
 .
 GtkColorCombo - A GtkComboBox subclass with a customizable palette of colors
 in the popdown window.
 .
 GtkBorderCombo - A GtkComboBox with a variety of border styles in the popdown
