What are the lost and eventually old packages / apps in Debian repositories, that you are missing ?

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

Ok, I start:

- BEAVER
Not present longer

Simon Bridge · 01-06-2010, 03:30 AM

You want us to list the packages we no longer have???
What possible interest is this?

beaver is a text editor - surely everyone uses emacs <ducks>

I dont know, was an idea. Maybe it could be interesting if somebdy needs anything.

Well, personnally, Debian repositories: I have more than anything I would require. Debian repos. is more than huge, and very useful.

Debian Distro Stats on sid... 27707 packages, 2102 maintainers, 81815 MB installed size, 30190 MB compressed size, add in the debian-multimedia.org repo and you have close to 30,000 packages. What could I possibly need that I can't install with a simple apt-get install.

Even apps like Google Chrome, Opera, and Skype have repos these days.

Well euhrm, we obviously all use Emacs ... fight the number of the beast

...but:
I agree with frenchn00b.

It's not just ditching old software but also the (older/faster) toolkits using it.

yeah, sure, the thing obviously missing in the debian-repos are text-editors.

that said: dillo.
yeah, sure, the thing obviously missing too are web-browser.

I would like to get a working version of sysvconfig......I know the sysv.rc-conf is an alternate but I like sysvconfig more....

Grip in todays testing and unstable repos for start.

frenchn00b · 01-11-2010, 08:21 AM

I found one !!

- DILLO
it would be great that dillo is still there. Why JWM then , if DILLO is not.

A tool for translation, which has never become very famous, but still it was nice thing:

bit like google translate nowadays.

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/xcalendar-i18n
is not in Testing / Squeeze anymore, but still in lenny.

ELINKS not in testing anymore, but is replaced by links2 as the name , if you are looking for text internet browsing.

mark_alfred · 01-22-2010, 09:17 PM

Code:

mark@debian:~$ apt-cache policy emelfm
emelfm:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:
mark@debian:~$

emelfm was in Etch, and then disappeared in Lenny, which irritated me. Perhaps it'll be back in Squeeze. Anyway, I did install it from source, but I'd prefer not to have to do this in the future. Ion3 window-manager is something else that disappeared (but I think it's now available in nonfree).

Elinks isn't gone. It just needs libtre5 and not libtre4.
This is already fixed in sid (and soon in testing).
