Removing wm/fluxconf



Hi all,

The wm/fluxconf package has been dead upstream for over a decade, fails
to build with default pkgsrc settings in most environments (it has of
course continually bit-rotted), and is also actively harmful for users
in some contexts. It doesn't support the current config format that
Fluxbox 1.3 uses, so it will actually corrupt config files. I'm not
inclined to fix it, and most other projects removed it years ago. If no
one objects, I will remove it in two weeks.

(For more details on the corruption aspect and other projects removing
it, please see:

Regards,

Dave
