I'd say we should remove it, especially because we really don't want anyone stumbling on to using it at this point.
$ reverse-depends src:software-center Reverse-Recommends ================== * mythbuntu-desktop [powerpc] (for software-center) - looks like an old depends as mythbuntu doesn't appear to do powerpc builds anymore * oneconf (for software-center) - for syncing package lists in software center, also a candidate to be removed? Reverse-Depends =============== * ti-omap4-software-channel (for software-center) - Hasn't been updated since initial release in 2011, not sure if it's still needed. - It actually is a desktop file that installs this outdated PPA - https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev/+archive/ubuntu/release?field.series_filter=precise. It also appears to hardcode the maverick release. I think we can definitely drop this.. Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in: amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x bryan@desktop:~$ reverse-depends -b src:software-center No reverse dependencies found Kind regards, Bryan On Mon, Oct 10, 2016 at 9:38 AM, Barry Warsaw <ba...@ubuntu.com> wrote: > On Oct 10, 2016, at 03:15 PM, Martin Pitt wrote: > >>I just noticed that we still have software-center in yakkety.
