Ditto for development/shiboken which is also a hard dependency of FreeCAD.



Others I noticed which should perhaps be saved for similar reasons:

development/snappy is an optional dependency of wireshark and qemu, as
well as being a hard dependency of libraries/rocksdb.

libraries/gl2ps is an optional dependency for both graphics/OpenCASCADE
and academic/octave


libraries/ftgl is hard dep for both graphics/vsxu and misc/projectM, as
well as optional for graphics/OpenCASCADE

libraries/id3lib is an (undocumented) optional dep for multimedia/kodi

libraries/libshout is a hard dep of multimedia/vlc

libraries/libxml++ is a hard dep of libraries/libffado

multimedia/vcdimager is a hard dep for both multimedia/devedeng and
multimedia/vlc

python/pyside is hard dep of development/pyside-tools and both of these
are hard deps for FreeCAD, as well as undocumented optional dep for
libraries/matplotlib


Even if they are all (by whatever definition) dead, removal of them
impacts badly on other SlackBuilds that remain. Therefore could I
suggest they be removed from DeadSBoBuilds?

Thanks,
chris
