Repos to archive?

[Alan Coopersmith]

While iterating over all the /xorg/ repos to update their READMEs
(which I think I've now finished - let me know if you spot one I missed),
I noticed a few more to consider archiving:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/compiz
- This is a long abandoned repo, not actual upstream, right?

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/intel-gen4asm
- Last commit was to declare the repo DEPRECATED as it folded into
the gpu-tools repo instead.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/lbxproxy
- This can't be built without liblbxutil which is already archived.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/makepsres
- leftover bit of DPS that never even got a Makefile created

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/mkcfm
- MAINTAINERS file says "Obsolete - CID font support has been dropped"

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/proxymngr
- This can't be built without lbxproxy (see above)

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xrx
- All major browsers have dropped NSAPI plugin support now

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xsetmode
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xsetpointer
- The READMEs explain why these are useless now

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xtrap
- See https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-June/036131.html

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-imstt
- Last commit is "Fail configure. This driver is unmaintained" 8 years ago

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/font/bitstream-speedo
-Speedo is listed on https://www.x.org/wiki/DeprecatedInX11R7/ as not
supported in modular builds. The code was deleted from libXfont in 2009.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxkbcommon
- Last commit is notice of moving to github 5 years ago

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcwm
- Is anyone using this? No commits in 6 years...

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/xmkmf
- Last commit was 12 years ago: "xmkmf support was moved to imake package."

I agree with your reasoning for all of these.

Almost all likewise. I've archived all of these except for libxcwm,
it's both the only one with any issues filed (imported from bz) and I
think in principle was part of some Xquartz rework that might still be
relevant. Thanks for looking into this!

I’d really love for someone to pickup the libxcwm work as it is definitely relevant and needed to modernize XQuartz. I haven’t looked at it for maybe 6+ years due to changing jobs within Apple, but it is still relevant.
