[bugzilla-daemon@freedesktop.org: [Bug 3080] libdps and libdpstk are obsolete and should be removed]

[Daniel Stone]

Hi all,
There is a debate on bug#3080 (link inline) about removing DPS.  Roland
has asserted that since large UNIX vendors still ship DPS, we must ship
DPS also, despite the complete lack of a server-side implementation, and
that the upstream author has marked the project as abandoned for years
now.  It has been deprecated since XFree86 4.3, released in 2003.

Does anyone have any realistic objections as to the removal of libDPS
from the monolithic tree, given that a) there is no server-side
implementation, and b) it has been abandoned upstream for some time
now.

The upstream code still builds, so surely the users of DPS, who are not
using an Xorg server to start off with, can get the code upstream?

I would like to frame this as a one-week call for objections: please
speak before the 28th of April, or forever hold your peace?

Cheers,
Daniel
