Hello,<br>
<br>
a recent message[1] to the release-team mailing list suggested that KDE<br>
Telepathy is de facto dead, due to lack of maintenance with the exception of<br>
infrequent contributions. Now, the problem seems also to affect the upstream<br>
Telepathy project, which is mostly dormant. Recently, a component used by KTP<br>
(the Qt bindings for Telepathy) broke with CMake 3.9 (and a fix or a release is<br>
not in sight; there has been no significant activity since 2015). At this<br>
point, with many parts of the stack that are likely bitrotting, and even a<br>
mostly dead upstream, it is the time to wonder whether KTP should be still<br>
part of Applications. It was suggested to keep it if it didn't break, but as I<br>
mentioned, some dependencies *are* already broken.<br>
<br>
Therefore, I would suggest for it to be dropped from the next Applications<br>
release (17.12). For what it's worth, it's being already dropped from openSUSE<br>
Tumbleweed (and the future stable versions as well), unless, of course, the<br>
impasse can be solved, but IMO it would just move the line to the next<br>
breakage (which is going to happen, sooner or later),<br>
