These desklets (which have ebuilds) include: x11-plugins/desklet-battery x11-plugins/desklet-calendar x11-plugins/desklet-cornerxmms x11-plugins/desklet-goodweather x11-plugins/desklet-ltvariations x11-plugins/desklet-multitail x11-plugins/desklet-psidisplays (see bug 78361) x11-plugins/desklet-psiextras (see bug 78361) x11-plugins/desklet-psisensors (see bug 78361) x11-plugins/desklet-rhythmlet x11-plugins/desklet-sysinfo x11-plugins/desklet-temperature x11-plugins/desklet-weather x11-plugins/desklet-wireless I've package.mask'ed most of these in May, and I'd like to remove all of them as soon as I can. I'd also like to remove gdesklets-core versions less than 0.33.1, since that is the first real stable version since 0.30 that works with the most of the desklets. Please comment and indicate if this is acceptable. gustavoz@gentoo.org 2005-08-30 08:29:27 0000 Acceptable for sparc, even if one of the newer ones isn't even ~sparc. I'll look into a case by case scenario like in bug #103966 and keyword accordingly. josejx@gentoo.org 2005-09-01 19:40:18 0000 I've got no problem with it on ppc either. Do you want us to keyword now? nixphoeni@gentoo.org 2005-09-05 21:11:25 0000 Yes, please do so when you can. blubb@gentoo.org 2005-10-05 15:06:17 0000 please, go on :) nixphoeni@gentoo.org 2005-10-09 19:54:29 0000 Removed desklet-* slated for removal. Will remove <gdesklets-core-0.33.1 in a few days, barring more objections. nixphoeni@gentoo.org 2005-10-25 14:27:09 0000 <gnome-extra/gdesklets-core-0.33.1 is now in package.mask, since it is more proper procedure. I'll remove it in a week or so. nixphoeni@gentoo.org 2005-11-17 00:25:16 0000 Removed <gnome-extra/gdesklets-core-0.33.1 as well as all the packages listed above. Thanks all.
