Is already read-only, and there's a note there:

> NOTE After 10 years, development of Cantata has now ceased, and this repository is read-only. v2.5.0 is the last released version.

I've been monitoring to see if there's a fork, or if some other org, like KDE takes over. However I haven't seen anything. I know there's a recent minor version upgrade (2.4.2-2 -> 2.5.0-1), and still I'm wondering if it's healthy keeping in Arch repos a dead project SW, to avoid users getting confused about cantata support...

I'd like to see a fork, take over, or similar, but so far no good...

Thanks !
This task depends upon
