Description

I suspected that kmix-disable-autostart was no longer needed as a workaround. According to it’s control file description, it’s there to make sure the clipboard history icon is loaded into the system tray. If that’s it, it is no longer needed. To test, I removed it from meta-packages and removed the folder. I built an ova. The clipboard icon is there in the system tray and functioning normally.

We don’t install kmix by default anymore anyhow, right? What mixer gets installed if any?

Ha! kmix is no longer installed by default in Debian 9. Plasma uses a native pulseaudio mixer widget thingie. I think that confirms that we can remove this package.

from the changelog.upstream of anon-meta:
Date:   Sun Jan 15 06:28:43 2017 +0000

add plasma-pa to anon-shared-applications-kde (kmix replacement)

@Patrick I haven’t removed a package from packages/ before. What is the process?

grep all to see it is no longer referenced somewhere. Specifically not
from anon-meta-packages.
git rm packages/pkg-name
git push
Update the package description on github. (At the very top. Not part of
the readme.) Mention, that the package is deprecated since Whonix 14 and
migrated where.

Leave a note with the link to github on
Dev/Redistribution - Whonix so we’ll remove
these packages after release.
