MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nmclient [2]:

Orphaned package, last updated in 2018.
Novell Messenger 3.0 was released in 2015 and its EOL was in 2018.

Package source and upstream URL on Novell's server is not
responding, or responding with a 'temporary downtime',
which indicates these server resources were just abandoned.

Novell (via its parent company) was bought by Micro Focus
during 2014-2015, but seems they don't really microfocus
on Novell assets.

The Novell branded products were discontinued. Successor
enterprise communication platform is GroupWise 18.

This package therefore seems unneded. Its last maintainer
also commented a year ago that they don't use it so that's
why they orphaned it.

Safe to delete; no impact.
