# Jonas Stein <jstein@gentoo.org> (2021-12-31)
# Removal after 2022-05-01. Bug #830331.
# Broken and upstream needs new maintainer.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/830331
----8<-------------------------------------------
Reasoning:
* maintainer-needed + open tickets
* package needs many patches to get it (probably) working again
* upstream does not maintain the source anymore. Issues and PRs remain open
* some tickets let me assume, that the software is not usable anymore
(for example TLS failure:
https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/issues/525)
* If you love this package, contact upstream and become the new upstream
maintainer
https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/issues/518
* We cannot maintain such a complicate project by constantly patching it
downstream
* We can reintroduce this package any time when upstream is alive again

Best,
