[Slackbuilds-users] Looking to drop my xvfb-run SlackBuild

[Bob Funk]

Hi,

I maintain the 'xvfb-run' SlackBuild on slackbuilds.org. I no longer have
any use for it and would like to drop maintaining it. If anyone wants it,
feel free to take over. Otherwise if there's no interest after a while I'll
request the admin to remove it.

For some background/context if anyone wants:
My 'mutter' and 'gnome-shell' slackbuilds used to depend on this package
for running some tests. I've removed that dependency and no longer need the
'xvfb-run' package. The 'xvfb-run' package is a wrapper script for the Xvfb
server. It gets packaged with xvfb server by other distros like
debian/fedora/etc, but not in Slackware. This slackbuild is one I took over
from the previous abondoner and just maintained it because I had it as a
dependency. The annoying part about it is that it extracts the wrapper
script from a debian xvfb server package, and the source url/package
changes every other month or so when debian updates xvfb server. It really
should get a stable host of that wrapper script on github or something, but
I just don't have use for it anymore so I'd rather leave it for someone who
cares and uses it.

Thanks for your time,

Bob
