Hi all,
As a notice, the following packages will not be brought to 1.0 unless
another contributor packages them. This list is a part of the "alpha7
missing list", which are packages that we shipped when we were an Alpine
fork. When we converted to our own package tree, these packages were
deemed unfit to "bring with us" and needed to be completely repackaged.
clamav
Complex and not actively used by any of our current users.
cpputest
Build-time test suite software unused by any software we package.
enca
Unmaintained encoding guessing library (like libguess, which we already
ship via audacious-plugins) that was, at one time, used by libass for
closed captioning. Has not been used in years.
eventlog
Build-time dependency for syslog-ng, which we have replaced with sysklog.
gcr
Cryptography library used by GNOME. We don't currently ship GNOME; this
will be revisited if/when we do.
glade3
RAD user interface design tool. Unused by any software we package.
jbig2dec
GNU's fork is unmaintained and outdated, with possible security holes.
Only used to compress monochromatic scanned images. Virtually useless.
libasyncns
No longer used by any software we package.
libdaemon
Dependency of avahi, which we have not yet ported. This will be
revisited if/when we port avahi.
libmilter
Only used by ClamAV. Will be revisited if/when we ship ClamAV.
libnfsidmap
Deprecated and replaced by nfs-utils.
libusb-compat
Only used by old versions of BlueZ.
libxp, libxres
Only used by Motif, which we no longer ship.
motif
Not currently used by any software we package. This will be revisited
if we consider shipping software that uses the Motif widget set.
mtools
Unnecessary as we ship dosfstools.
postfix
Complex and unused by any current user of Adélie.
tslib
Only used by DirectFB, which we shipped at one point for attempted
compatibility with postmarketOS but no longer ship.
xf86-video-*
Most of the video drivers we don't ship are massively out of date and no
longer compile against the newest X.Org server. Those that do can be
considered at a later date.
Best,
--arw
