.fluxbox/startup.d/clipit: Work around deprecation
Debian's clipit maintainer orphaned the package and declared it
deprecated due to upstream inactivity and various unfixed bugs:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1140666/accepted-clipit-144git20190202-2-source-into-unstable/
However, upstream is in fact fairly active:
https://github.com/CristianHenzel/ClipIt/commits/master
And someone intends to adopt the package during the Debian bookworm
development cycle:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=941081
Also, compare:
Package: clipit
Version: 1.4.4+git20190202-2
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org>
Installed-Size: 318
Depends: libayatana-appindicator3-1 (>= 0.2.92), libc6 (>= 2.7), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.30.0), libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.19.12), libpango-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libx11-6, xdotool, zenity, diodon
Versus:
Package: diodon
Version: 1.11.0-1
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Oliver Sauder <os@esite.ch>
Installed-Size: 1057
Depends: libdiodon0 (= 1.11.0-1), zeitgeist-core (>= 0.9.14), dconf-gsettings-backend | gsettings-backend, libayatana-appindicator3-1 (>= 0.5.3), libc6 (>= 2.4), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.46), libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.22), libpeas-1.0-0 (>= 1.1.1)
Package: libdiodon0
Source: diodon
Version: 1.11.0-1
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Oliver Sauder <os@esite.ch>
Installed-Size: 170
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.46), libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.22), libpeas-1.0-0 (>= 1.1.1), libx11-6, libxtst6, libzeitgeist-2.0-0 (>= 0.9.9)
diodon and its library alone are almost four times the size of clipit.
Because of the intent to adopt, the size, and my familiarity with and
existing configuration for clipit, it's worth keeping it for at least
Debian bullseye.
