Description:
XView (X Window-System-based Visual/Integrated Environment for Workstations)
is a user-interface toolkit to support interactive, graphics-based
applications running under the X Window System.  XView provides a set of
pre-built, user-interface objects such as canvases, scrollbars, menus, and
control panels.  The appearance and functionality of these objects follow
the OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface (GUI) specification.  XView features
an object-oriented style Application Programmer's Interface (API) that is
straightforward and easy to learn.

This is pretty much vintage stuff :-)

There are a few useful pieces of scientific software that depend on the xview package.  I intend to submit some of them over time, starting with treetool.

This review request is to get the ball rolling.  Some discussion already occured on f-e-l: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-October/msg00643.html

It looks like we will have to exclude 64-bit architectures for now, and use the 32-bit packages on x86_64.

Hans, please add your patches to this ticket...  tia :-)
