Subject: RM: elyxer -- ROM; no upstream activity, giving up LyX and ecosystem maintenance

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

I'm giving up maintenance of LyX and related tools. Since elyxer has been only ever
maintained by myself and nobody else showed any interest I feel obliged to ensure it's
leaving Debian again.
The recommendation of elyxer in the lyx package has been removed in the git repo already,
pending an upload.
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-lyx/lyx.git/commit/?id=faf5695584838f174b94b0cb7f6f766ac034d169

Additionally elyxer has seen no upstream activity since 2013. Since then also the HTML
export support in LyX itself has been improved, so I don't think we lose the functionality
itself. There are also a bunch of other latex2html converters which can be utilized by LyX.
