<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>It is very likely that ladish/gladish will be removed from the
Debian archive soon, as it is not maintained upstream, and needs
to be ported away from GTK2.<br>
</p>
<p>Whilst we can probably keep it a little longer in Ubuntu, unless
someone steps up to take over maintenance (and do the porting
work), it will be lost eventually.</p>
<p>Do we have good alternatives?</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Ross<br>

flowcanvas depends on numerous obsolete GNOME 2-era libraries
(e.g. #885095) and hasn't had a maintainer upload since 2009. Its
upstream
website says:
**Note**: FlowCanvas is dead, long live Ganv!
ganv is also in Debian as src:ganv; it's orphaned in Debian, but appears
to have commit activity upstream.
flowcanvas has one reverse-dependency in Debian, gladish (src:ladish),
whose most recent maintainer upload was in 2014. web.archive.org says
the ladish.org website has been down since mid 2014.

ladish looks to be maintained by alessio (last commit 20 Apr 2017) here :
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/alessio/ladish/">https://github.com/alessio/ladish/</a>
(the same goes laditools as well)

You failed to mention that there has only been one non-merge commit to
that repository since 2014.
The truth is unless someone is willing to do the porting work, these
packages are not going to survive whether they are "maintained" or not.
