Yeah, but if it hasn’t reached that point then is it really dead?
Edit: Instead of downvoting me, consider this. What if the only update this program receives in years is one to make sure its still compatible with the libraries and APIs you refer to? Would that make it alive, or dead?
It seems like you guys are advocating for updating just for the sake of updating, also bandwagoning a bit.
I don’t get people being worried about an offline application designed to run one shot as the current user not receiving updates. I do get maintainers dropping the package from package repos now that it is officially archived though…
How does that make it dead?
Do they just need to update it for the sake of updating it?
Libraries and APIs are a moving target. Eventually it won’t run on modern systems anymore without modification.

Thanks for the clarification.

Because I saw it in a thread when archiving was announced, and didn’t fact check like a dumbass.
Apparently it doesn’t work right on ARM systems or something
