[Aptitude-devel] Heads up: aptitude-gtk will likely vanish from Debian

[Axel Beckert]

Hi,

since not all read Planet Debian, just a short heads up that the
current Aptitude developers plan to stop building aptitude-gtk from
the aptitude sources -- unless someone steps up and resurrects the
currently buggy and unpopular aptitude-gtk, maybe even as its own
source package.

See the blog posting at [1], the discussion at [2]. [3] seems to be a
good summary of the thread to me.

Reply-To is set to the Aptitude Development mailing list.
