[Freemint-discuss] Removal of HYPView

[Miro K. <mir...@gm...>]

Hi,

perhaps you are aware, freemint repositories include also
https://github.com/freemint/hypview. This used to be a software developed
by Philipp Donzé (https://xn--donz-epa.ch/atari/software/hypview) which was
moved into freemint cvs in 2006.

Around 2018 Thorsten took this source code as base for this hypview (
https://github.com/th-otto/hypview) and completely reworked it (as it
serves as base for https://tho-otto.de/hypview/index.php and other
non-Atari projects, too).

Since his port has many more features and bugfixes, I'm wondering whether
there is a reason to keep the original under freemint wings. There are
issues (https://github.com/freemint/hypview/issues) not present in
Thorsten's build and there's nobody to fix them.

So I'm considering archiving this repository and removing hypview from
snapshot builds, to encourage people using other alternatives.

Any objections?
