Yeah, as long as you stop building it.

If people had ample time to migrate and there's no important packages left, this doesn't need to hold up removal. It's a manageable number of packages to NMU. Please consult with the release team if you have any suspicion that such forced migration would cause any problems. I don't see any really important or big packages listed that haven't migrated yet. > > - bump the version numbers of those 4.0 and 4.1 packages so that they > > would supersede the versions built by mysql-dfsg-5.0 > I don't like to upload a "mysql-server-4.1 (5.0.x)" package as this > would confuse the users of testing/unstable. Can it be avoided? Yeah, you'd need to epoch it to not have a weird version number. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
