Given the inactivity of the ripperx project upstream and the fact that grimripper [1] is a suitable, modern replacement, I am filing this proposed-removal bug for ripperx (as per [2]). Thank you to Bastian Germann for suggesting this [3]. If folks have suggestions regarding how we can help ripperx users find the replacement, please provide feedback here. In the meantime, I will upload a ripperx package with a NEWS file suggesting that users install grimripper. For the trixie release, perhaps the ripperx package should be empty except for a manpage, the NEWS file, and a Recommends in debian/control? Thanks, tony [1] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/grimripper [2] https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/removals [3] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=967729#12
