[Debichem-devel] Bug#967865: Is there any chance that ghemical will be upgraded to more modern toolset?

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Michael,

since bug
  #967865 ghemical: depends on deprecated libglade2
became serious now and bug
  #967392 ghemical: depends on deprecated GTK 2
will fire sooner or later while upstream has orphaned the package a long
time ago I'm wondering whether we have the power inside Debian to take
over upstream work and upgrade the packaging ourselves.  Unfortunately
I do not see any chance for this despite I'm personally miss this package
also in Debian Med since it was used by microbiologists.

If you think we will not be able to maintain the package in the long
run it might make sense to ask for removal of the package.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
