There are no external dependencies to these, so please just mark them as
OBSOLETE.
I think these all depend on 'perl5_030' (which is provided by a single
remaining version of perl) or 'perl5_026' (which nothing provides anymore)
Long-term, I think calm should be taught to expire (= move to the vault)
packages which are no longer installable because their requires don't
exist any more.
I'm not sure if you have access the ~cygwin-admin/bin/vault script (note
this takes a shell glob as an argument which should match a specific
package & version, if you want to manually do that...
(I think we need to retain packages there rather than remove them
totally for legal reasons)
Further obsoletions:
perl-Win32
The version in perl-5.32 core is up-to-date, so that package no longer
serves a purpose.
This should probably be obsoleted by perl, then?
Hi Jon,
how we should manage the obsolescence ?
