I don't see any reference on the official website that this is a successor

Looks like a fork owned by Debian maintainer.

So would likely need to meet our fork requirements - https://docs.brew.sh/Acceptable-Formulae#not-a-fork-usually

  • the fork has been used as the replacement by at least two other major distributions (e.g. Debian, Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, not smaller Linux distributions that are not widely used)

Similar to urlview (same Debian maintainer forked various abandonware)

Seems to have been picked up by other distros already (e.g. Debian and Ubuntu): https://repology.org/project/ossp-uuid/versions

Though we probably want to wait and see if it gets picked up by someone else first (e.g. FreeBSD, Arch, or Gentoo).

Mainly want another distro to pick it up first as the Debian maintainer наб is the new code owner so there is really only one person owning upstream & downstream for forked projects.

Debian-derivatives should be considered as only 1 distro (Debian, Devuan, Kali, PureOS, Raspbian, Ubuntu).

Outside of those is Mageia and Ravenports using fork. Not familiar with the packaging process there. Maybe someone else can comment on how widely used these are and whether they satisfy our criteria.
