Last chance to block dropping of some packages (was Re: [opensuse-gnome] Recently dropped / to-be-dropped packages)

Hi,

Please read the mail carefully, else you won't be allowed to complain
later on ;-)

A while ago I wrote the following (and there's new stuff afterwards):

Le jeudi 09 juin 2011, à 11:27 +0200, Vincent Untz a écrit :
 Things we will possibly drop in the near future:
 
  - packages depending on libpanel-applet-2 (GNOME 2.x applets), that
will not get ported to GNOME 3.
[...]
And maybe:
. contact-lookup-applet (depending on upstream)
. drapes (upstream looks dead, so not going to be ported?)
. gnome-main-menu (if not ported)
. gnome-netstatus (depending on upstream)
 
  - maybe gnome-pilot-conduits: we need to check with upstream if it's
still useful, but it needs gnome-pilot 2.x right now. A simple mail
to upstream maintainer would do.
 
  - maybe pino: doesn't build, current branch is dead upstream and
there's a preliminary new branch but it's in alpha, and doesn't look
very active.

Unless someone complains before the end of the week, we will drop those
packages. It's a bit difficult to decide with pino, but there's no
release of the new branch and unless someone steps up to actively look
at what upstream is doing, it's simpler to drop it.

On top of that, the following packages will be dropped too:

 - gnome-pilot: upstream doesn't have a lot of time to give a lot of
   love to the code and, well, I'm really unsure we have many users
   using this kind of old hardware.

 - gok: this is the old on-screen keyboard, working with the old
   accessibility stack. A new one is coming for gnome-shell, and caribou
   is recommended for fallback mode.

Cheers,

Vincent

. gnome-main-menu (if not ported)

I (and others) use this a lot (the traditional main menu).
