[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#1151749: RM: gmpc -- ROM; dead upstream, depends on GTK 2, alternatives available

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: gmpc at packages.debian.org

Usertags: remove

gmpc has not been in testing since the beginning of 2026 due to 
its dependency on the unmaintained GTK 2. It's dead upstream, and so is 
the most promising GTK 3 fork.

I think it's time to remove this from Debian. Alternatives include 
cantata, plattenalbum and sonata, possibly combined with mpdris2 and 
desktop environment MPRIS integration (I mostly use mpdris2 and cantata 
myself).

gmpc-plugins will need to be removed first (#1151748).
