As for the applications that depend on motif, I say we do the following: 1) Announce that openmotif will be dropped in X days, weeks. 2) Provide information o lesstif as the alternative. 3) Maintainers of packages that have motif dependencies have the same X days, or weeks to fix their applications to work with lesstif 4) Drop openmotif after the time period has elapsed 5) Deal with any unfixed packages at that time.I like this plan a lot. It sets deadlines and expectations properly. openmotif just needs to go away.So who can make said announcement?
I can be play the bad-cop here. Question is, how long of a deadline for step 1? Is 2 weeks enough?
