> use-of-compat-symlink This is a mistake that someone could still make with /usr/bin/X11 since the symlink still exists. I'd rather keep this one until all the symlinks that it is referring to are no longer installed on Debian systems. > loads-obsolete-confmodule Likewise, these files still exist, so someone could mistakenly use them. We should drop this tag at the point that debconf stops including them so scripts will just error out. (Perhaps it's worth suggesting to debconf that now is the time.) > binary-nmu-uses-old-version-style Are we sure that no one is going to do a manual binNMU and not know the new versioning system? We still do get occasional manual binNMUs. > postinst-should-not-set-usr-doc-link > package-uses-obsolete-file > old-style-example-dir > old-style-copyright-file [AR] > obsolete-field > ancient-dpkg-predepends-check > ancient-dpkg-long-filenames-check > doc-base-file-references-usr-doc I don't see any point in retaining any of these. > Furthermore, I am considering to drop the following tags: > x11-games-should-be-in-usr-games > manpage-for-non-x11-binary-in-wrong-directory > manpage-for-x11-binary-in-wrong-directory > package-installs-font-to-usr-x11r6 > package-installs-file-to-usr-x11r6-bin > old-app-defaults-directory > Any package triggering any of those tags would (as far as I can tell) > also trigger package-installs-file-to-usr-x11r6. That also seems fine to me, since we're still issuing a more generic tag. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
