Bug#1112387: gnome-themes-extra: unmaintained upstream; upstream repository is archived and read-only

[Simon McVittie]

Source: gnome-themes-extra
Severity: important
Tags: upstream wontfix
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: unmaintained-upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: arc-theme at packages.debian.org, cinnamon at packages.debian.org, orchis-theme at packages.debian.org, qt6-base at packages.debian.org, reform-tools at packages.debian.org, squeekboard at packages.debian.org, yaru-theme at packages.debian.org, phosh at packages.debian.org

gnome-theme-extra's upstream git repository has been moved to 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-themes-extra and archived. This 
means that it no longer accepts issue reports or merge requests, even if 
a serious problem is found.

In practice the main purpose of this source package in Debian is to 
provide the Adwaita theme for GTK 2, which will have to stay until we 
are able to remove GTK 2 completely.

A few other packages do still depend on this:

> # Broken Depends:
> arc-theme: arc-theme
> cinnamon: cinnamon [amd64 arm64 armhf i386 mips64el ppc64el riscv64 s390x]
> orchis-theme: orchis-gtk-theme
> qt6-base: qt6-gtk-platformtheme
> reform-tools: reform-desktop-full
> squeekboard: squeekboard
> yaru-theme: yaru-theme-gtk
> 
> # Broken Build-Depends:
> phosh: gnome-themes-extra-data

Please investigate whether those dependencies can be relaxed or removed 
(consider this to be advance warning about a future 
mini-mass-bug-filing).

Thanks,
