Bug#1010319: RM: gnome-documents -- RoM; unmaintained

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: gnome-documents at packages.debian.org

gnome-documents is no longer maintained upstream. It has been archived
which means GNOME is no longer accepting any code fixes, translations,
or even bug reports for it any more.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-documents

Its most recent release was in October of 2019.

Therefore, please remove gnome-documents from Debian.

Its popcorn is rather high because it was installed by default by
meta-gnome3 and task-gnome-flashback-desktop until recently, but it
wasn't a "popular" (well-loved) app. It is recommended that you use
your favorite PDF viewer instead (evince, firefox, etc.).

A fork (more or less), gnome-books, is still maintained and is a
reader for comic books and ePub books.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bicha
