[ATTN maintainers] cocom gnubg nettle parrot rakudo

[ATTN maintainers] cocom gnubg nettle parrot rakudo

[Achim Gratz]

These are the last packages depending on libgmp3 (on 32bit only).  Could
these either be recompiled or dropped so that the old gmp library can be
removed?  I really don't want to compile it again with gcc-4.9.2 for
just this handful of packages.

Both parrot and rakudo are only available on 32bit and rather old.

The package libppl also depends on libgmp3, but is now obsolete since
the version of gcc using it has been retired.

Another obsolete library is libmpc1 and all the 0.x versions of it.

Could somebody with direct access to sourceware delete the cruft,
please?


Regards,
Achim.

Dunno about the other packages, but cocom is a build requirement for
Cygwin.  We can rebuild it, but not remove it.

cocom is mine, and I have added it to my update queue.

Are these still in use and maintained upstream?  If so, any takers?

If not we're going to remove them.

Removed.  Btw., do we still need the obsolete ppl-devel?

Removed.

The "or dropped" was targeted at rakudo and parrot, as the other
packages have active maintainers.  But if somebody adopts them and also
provides them for 64bit nobody would complain either.  Sorry if that
hasn't been clear.

By now everybody should have switched to libppl-devel via dependency, so
I think this can also go now.

Both seem active
http://rakudo.org/  a compiler like for perl
http://www.parrot.org/  is a virtual machine for dynamic languages
   (as perl and ruby )


Not my area

Neither mine.  I guess if Achim doesn't take them, we'll remove them.
