Subject: bug#37574: [PATCH] Remove references to obsolete package gnuserv

From: Stefan Kangas <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2019 20:24:07 +0200

On visiting the gnuserv website http://meltin.net/hacks/emacs/, we now find:

"I used to have some Emacs and Haskell hacks on my previous
sites. However, these hacks are now old and un-maintained. I don’t
think there is enough interest to keep them around."

Please see the attached patch.  Is it ok to push?

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
