A group of developper forked barrier to a new Github repository:
https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap

Note that the built binaries are still named barrier, barrierc, barriers
so the package should conflict if a new debian package name is created.
Maybe a new name for those binaries could be asked for, I have not
checkd the issue tracker for if it was already asked for.

Cheers,
Alban

Hi,
died as well:

OTOH there is the deskflow "fork" packaged for Debian, which is active:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/deskflow
https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow

I recommend removing barrier from the archive and redirecting users to deskflow.
