Hi,
Here is the third sublist. It contains the packages from the second list that for which no decision has been made plus the remaining orphans in the wiki list. There might be a fourth sublist if there are still some stray orphans remaining.
If you think a package should be kept or disagree about the comments, say it so. If you think all these packages can be removed, also say it so. If you want to adopt one of these packages, please adopt it through the dashboard and let me know.
======================================
[skipping gnome packages that Jan answered about]
evms Description: Enterprise Volume Management System I don't know who uses it but it's kinda important package.
giftoxic Description: A GTK frontend for the giFT daemon It's from 2003. giFT and OpenFT are from 2004 and 2005. Oldies... :-)
gpart Description: Gpart is a tool which tries to guess the primary partition table of a PC-type hard disk in case the primary partition table in sector 0 is damaged Testdisk rules here, gpart is not needed. I've recovered >50 HDDs with Testdisk (DOS version, using since v4.1 IIRC) and it only improves with each version.
hnb Description: hierarchical notebook (hnb) is a curses program to structure many kinds of data in one place Pretty interesting app for plain text console lovers. Maybe I will maintain it in Unsupported.
httrack Description: HTTrack is an easy-to-use offline browser utility. Adopted.
ipvsadm Description: The IP Virtual Server administration utility Same category as evms - useful, but I don't know who uses it.
irda-utils Utilities for infrared communication between devices: should be kept Should be kept.
kdesu provide same functionality
libidl unused lib libsvg unused lib Aren't they just non-specified depends? Names sound like they are/was important somewhere.
mrtg Description: Multi Router Traffic Grapher. This is used on many servers (at least in "ISP department" where I work), I think it should stay in Extra.
pan Description: A powerful Newsgroup Article reader based on GTK2 Adopted by Eric. :-)
powernowd Do we need it? We already have cpudyn and cpufreq. As a decision been made? Not needed. We have all needed modules in kernel and cpufrequtils to make them usable. (see comments in previous thread)
revelation Description: Password manager for the GNOME 2 desktop Adopted.
sharpconstruct Description: A real-time modeller for 3D sculpt models Adopted. It's no longer developed, so I will move it to unsupported once it won't work/build anymore.
