Bug#1094653: gnome-devel-docs: unmaintained upstream; upstream repository is archived and read-only

[Jeremy Bícha]

Source: gnome-devel-docs
Severity: important
Tags: upstream wontfix

GNOME has archived the gnome-devel-docs project. That means it is no
longer possible to bug reports, bug fixes, merge requests, or
translation updates to GNOME.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-devel-docs

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.

Since the last gnome-devel-docs release was 3.5 years ago (with
commits ending a few months later), months before the first stable
release of libadwaita, I think it's clear that the HIG and other
documentation is getting increasingly out of date. I guess we should
consider removing gnome-devel-docs from Debian, maybe before Trixie is
released.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
