[arch-dev-public] Phasing out cwiid
Hey all,
I'd like to phase out cwiid [1] (as it's super old and unmaintained). Currently it's an optdepends for supercollider, but its use will be deprecated in the next version [2], so I will remove it there eventually.
The only other packages depending on it are kodi (make) and kodi-eventclients. However, is it really required there?
For now, I rebuilt cwiid, but I guess it could be dropped midterm, if it's not a hard requirement for kodi et al.
Best, David

Your findings are also reflected in the wiki [1] and I would say drop it. But it is required by kodi-eventclients for kodi-eventclients-wiiremote component, which you will have to remove. Anyone using Kodi with a Wiimote will lose functionality, but they can check if Xwiimote works as well for them.

I have rebuilt cwiid to fix some issues with the PKGBUILD, but the supercollider package has dropped its dependency for it now (was built without it since 3.8.0 anyways).
Now waiting on Ike Devolder to get back to me on the topic of kodi.

It's removed since 17.6-2 in community so you can just remove cwiid if you want.
