[RemovePkg] qrencode
issue-action: removepkgissue-action: valid
**Packages to remove**
- `qrencode`
**Why**
This package hasn't been maintained for a long time. The last commit was 5 years ago as of Nov 22, 2025[1]. And there has been a lot of unresolved issues[2] [3] [4].
**Potential Risk**
- `prison`
- `xfce4-clipman-plugin`
still depend on the library
**Additional context**
We already have `zxing-cpp` in the repository, which is actively maintained and also supports QRcode generation/parsing. A possible solution is to write a compatibility layer to provide qrencoder API through `zxing-cpp`. However, I'm unsure whether the parameters could be tuned as fine as `qrencoder`.
It'll be best to help upstream projects move away from the inactive projects.
Also Cc: @septs. Thanks for pointing out state of the project.
