Description Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2023-11-20 12:56:34 CET
We should check if we can remove/reduce the dependencies on the following packages to get them off the list of maintained packages:

* qemu

* phonon-backend-vlc, vlc and related dependencies: exiv2, sdl-image1.2, faad2, libopenmpt, openjpeg2

* php7.x (php7.3 in 5.0-3) etc

They are the most expensive to maintain, currently (judging from 4.4-9).

UCS 5.2 doesn't contain PHP 7.x but PHP 8.2
