Andreas, All,

On 2024-02-19 10:51 +0100, Andreas Naumann spake thusly:

The upstream repository has also been "archived", which means it is
frozen and will never get fixed, ever.

That's a bit unfortunate indeed, but we don't have much choice going
forward: we'll have to drop that package in the near future, but not
now: we're still considering reverting the python 3.12 version bump for
2024.02, as it still causes issues in the target==build case, which
means we'd be able to keep the current flutter stack for 2024.02 LTS.

Then, we can reintroduce python3, the flutter-engine bumps in this
series, and drop flutter-gfallery, hopefully introducing another package
as an example on how to build flutter packages...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
