Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: gnome-devel-docs at packages.debian.org
User: ftp.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: remove
Control: affects -1 src:gnome-devel-docs

gnome-devel-docs was archived upstream 3.5 years ago which means that
bug fixes, bug reports, and translations are no longer accepted.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-devel-docs

That was before libadwaita had its first stable release. Debian's copy
of the documentation is getting increasingly outdated.

The GNOME developer documentation is currently published at
https://developer.gnome.org/
with source code at these repos:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Websites?filter=developer.gnome.org

I don't think it's expected for distros to want to package copies of
those websites for offline use.

Therefore, please remove gnome-devel-docs from Debian.

On behalf of the Debian GNOME team,
Jeremy Bicha
