[Bug 1728241] Re: stjerm project is abandoned(unmaintained) upstream -- please remove from archives

[Egmont Koblinger]

Thanks guys for having addressed this removal! I just came here to
report the same request.

> What bugs, specifically, do you believe justify this package's removal
from the archive?

Pretty much the entire set of bugs that have been fixed in VTE in the
last 8 years :-) including potential data leakage by writing the
scrollback data unencrytped to disk.

> it has no obsolete library dependencies

It uses an ancient version of VTE which I just asked to get removed in
bug 1829377.

There are about a dozen VTE-based emulators shipped by Ubuntu, IMO it's
already too much. I see no point in carrying one that couldn't catch up
with API changes for 8 years.

I'm just commenting to confirm that you made the right choice by
removing stjerm, thanks again!
