Hi Guix,
a while ago I noticed that the software provided by the “vmpk” package
doesn’t work. It is supposed to create a window displaying a MIDI
keyboard that can be used to send MIDI messages to other applications
via JACK, but it does nothing at all. I tried to debug this but I
cannot seem to find the cause.
Now that we have “jack-keyboard”, which works just fine, I’m thinking
about just removing “vmpk”. What do you think? Any objections?
~~ Ricardo

I don't have any opinions about vmpk, but I think it would be good to
ask upstream for advice about the buggy behaviour, if there is active
upstream maintenance.
But, I know that means doing more work for a package you don't need
anymore. So I understand if you prefer to remove the package.

Same here. And I trust your judgment on the usefulness/usability, so if
there’s no feedback within a week or so, I’d say you can go ahead.
