Bug#207994: libsdl-console: what to do with it?

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Hello,

libsdl-console is very old:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/libs/libsdl-console.html

There are packages from 2003 (versions 2.0 and 2.1) which are
requested on bug report #207994 from 2003 as well:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=207994
http://sdlconsole.sourceforge.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sdlconsole/files/sdlconsole-source/

According to popcon, it was once very popular (~4000), but not anymore
(~850, ~200 the -dev):
http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=libsdl-console

No packages depend on it.  However, maybe there are people using it in
their upstream projects and use the Debian package to not install and
compile themselves.  According to popcon is 80+ times more "lively"
than paragui, which had only 10 installations reported.

So what do we do with this: update, or remove?

I vote for updating at the moment, and if in the future it doesn't get
update for dealing with SDL-2, say in a couple of years, remove it.

Cheers.
