- The latest stable release 0.11.0 does not support python 2.x and
relies on an outdated Pillow which has several vulnerabilities
- The latest beta release 0.13.0-beta2 supports python 3.x and is
packageable but segfaults
- I am the only maintainer and not willing to put further effort into it.
The original developer has abandoned this package but some Ubuntu
developers have forked it and maintain it. This means the tests now
work and the package supports Python 3.
The download has been broken for eons, and the latest
version (4.1.1) has switched to Snap instead of a tarball.
Considering the fact that it hasn't been updated and no one's
complained, I'd say this is ripe for removal.

The package is stuck on python2 while the upstream has archived its
repository and the last commit is from 2014.

Claims to support python3, but I'm seeing it use implicit relative
imports and it also has not adapted to python3.8 gettext API changes.
Removed for working only with python2.
Still actively developed and yet stuck on python2. Also marked as
vulnerable and their issue tracker contains yet another security issue
reported in 2021/10 that the upstream hasn't acknowledged yet.
Mind blown.
Closes: #135543, #97274, #97275
The package is unmaintained and uses python2. There are newer upstream
versions, but upgrading the package requires some dedication, which only
a maintainer should need to provide.
The packaged version required python2, updating it showed it doesn't
work, since it tries to write to its read-only output directory. Also
renpy now requires their own pygame_sdl2 fork to build.
More work on this would be required, and since there is no maintainer at
this time I opted for the removal.
This renames our `firmwareLinuxNonfree` package to `linux-firmware`.
There is prior art for this in multiple other distros[1][2][3].
Besides making the package more discoverable by those searching for the
usual name, this also brings it in-line with the `kebab-case` we
normally see in `nixpkgs` pnames, and removes the `Nonfree` information
from the name, which I consider redundant given it's present in
`meta.license`.
The corresponding alias has been added, so this shouldn't break
anything.
