Imlib1 to be removed (was: Kuickshow replacement in KDE 4.2.2)

2009-04-19 Thread Carsten Pfeiffer 
Hi,

so far I haven't had a need to port away from Imlib1. Imlib was the fastest 
image loading and rendering library and it works just fine.

Despite the name, Imlib2 is *not* a successor of Imlib1, it is a completely 
different thing with a different (incompatible) feature set. And even Imlib2 
is slower than Imlib2 (I did port KuickShow to Imlib2 to test it, years ago).

I'll run some benchmarks to see if e.g. Qt's image io has been improved, but 
I'd be surprised if it was as fast as Imlib1.

What's actually the reason to remove Imlib1 (and can the removal be stopped)?

Cheers,
Carsten

 See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522810

Please remove imlib from the archive, which is related to the GTK 1.2
removal.

I don't understand this. The package only depends on X11 related libraries. I 
don't see the relation to GTK:

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/imlib11

We want dead, unmaintained software out of the archive. GTK1.2 fits
that, imlib1 fits that, 

(Qt3 fits that and will probably be removed once squeeze is out)
