I (the mantainer) am in favor too. a.

So it does not actually make sense any more to keep gpr in Debian. So I am in favor of its removal, too. OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#1050359: RM: gpr -- RoQA; dead upstream; depends on gtk2
Source: gpr Severity: serious Version: 0.15deb-2 gpr does not seem to be used a lot and is dead upstream. The Debian version is essentially a fork that is also not updated since 2011. I intend to file a RM bug. If you have any reasons to keep it in Debian please voice them here. To get people's attention, I am filing as a serious bug and will reassign to the FTP team when the package is autoremoved from testing.
