Description Hans de Goede 2020-03-18 17:30:07 UTC 
As discussed on the mailinglist, svgalib is very old and has not been maintained upstream for more then 10 years and I believe that (almost?) no one is using it. So the plan is to remove svgalib from the distribution starting with Fedora 33.

The main goal of this bug is to track progress on removing build / runtime deps on svgalib from other packages in Fedora.

Comment 1 Ben Cotton 2020-08-11 13:14:18 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle.
Changing version to 33.
Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2021-05-26 09:15:55 UTC 
Koules has dropped its svgalib dependency in rawhide, so I've retired svgalib for rawhide now, closing.
