Perl Weekly Issue #357 - 2018-05-28 - Shutter, a nice Perl application, may be removed from Debian latest | archive | by Gabor Szabo Don't miss the next issue! Tweet

Hi there, Shutter is one of the most popular screenshot applications for Linux and now, due to a dependency it is about to be removed from Debian. It also happens to be the only popular Perl-based desktop applications around. So if you care for your screenshotting on Linux, or if you just care about Perl, this is a very good opportunity to contribute back. If you start updating Shutter let me know, so I can share your progress in the newsletter! Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo
