@therealpxc, @acowley, @breakds, @akru I saw your comments in #11713. What's your opinion on this? #11713 sounds like you have moved your ROS packages elsewhere.

I haven't used Gazebo in a long time. Removing these and pulling me off the maintainers list seems fair to me.

The others used them more recently, so their input is probably more important.

Being broken for that long is a pretty good indicator that it should be removed. Hopefully someone looking to get it working again can find the git history to have a starting place. Thank you for taking action on this!

Ok, agree.

Thank you all for your answers!

@therealpxc: Ok, I'll remove pxc from maintainer-list.nix, and from the packages where you are listed as maintainer.
I noticed that ignition.transport is broken since 2018, so I'll remove that package too.
Do you think it makes sense to keep genromfs, ignition-math and qgroundcontrol around?

To summarize: sdformat, gazebo and ignition-transport have been broken (either silently or marked) since 2016. This PR removes them and ignition-math, which is only used in gazebo. Additionally, their maintainer @therealpxc has asked to be removed, which orphans genromfs and qgroundcontrol.

I have working versions of Gazebo in my nixpkgs fork, which I maintain as part of my project for ROS support in Nix.

I have begun to upstream some of the dependencies (see #85983), and will hopefully be able to create PRs for the rest over the next few weeks.

I'm also willing to take over maintenance of QGroundControl as I use it regularly.

Sorry I wasn't paying enough attentions to the github notifications and late to the thread. Thank you for taking care of the broken package. Also I am really grateful about @lopsided98 's work, which should work for people who want to use Gazebo or other ROS packages in Nix.
