Request 993737 (revoked)

Overview

Request 993737 revoked

canna is out of upstream maintenance for more than 15 years.
openSUSE keeps the latest edition was released in 2004, and there's no user using it now.

At the same time, it will continue to cost M17N team time to maintain and fix errors(eg: build time), because modern Linux will involve more new libraries, which break canna's build env.

In addition, canna also causes many security issues because of the code is too old, and the new security risk has been exposed more and more, These problems could not have been fully predicted or considered 15 years ago, All of these problems required our M17N team to solve with limited manpower.

So I request to delete it, please consider my suggestion. thank you!

Problem is:

Error: missing alternative provides for libcanna.so.1()(64bit)
canna is still a build requirement of:

- canna-yubin
- cannadic

- scim-canna
- uim
- xemacs
