Thaeris I can't emphasize enough how rarely we remove things from the repository. We have deprecated less than 300 source packages since Solus was first released in December 2015. That's an average of 75 packages per year or 1.4 packages per week since the inception of Solus. A number further decreased when you realize that some of them were replaced by other packages, all of the *proto
packages were consolidated to xorgproto
, and that most of them are libraries that were no longer needed.
EDIT: Because I'm a nice guy, here's a list of all of the packages we removed that might actually have impacted a user:
