Hi kou

Is there a process for unremoving/undeprecating packages?

There was a discussion a long time ago about the fact that the  
PanelApplet package was marked as deprecated. There really didn’t seem  
to be any reason apart from the module having no designated  
‘maintainer’. But as the code was working, there didn’t seem to be any  
reason to remove it. Since that time, the PanelApplet code was updated  
by Detlef R…

Has something changed that means the code stopped working? Is there  
something new that needs to be done to it for gem support?

Regards  
Grant

1. The package isn’t deprecated by the GTK+/GNOME team.
2. We need an _active_ maintainer for it.

No maintainer is a serious problem for us…  
If our release includes a deprecated package and ithas a  
bug, we will need to fix it. But we should work on supported  
packages instead of deprecated packages. We only have  
limited resources.

No. We still need just an _active_ maintainer.

I’m sorry about our limited resources…
