There's really no way to see "is it used". I was looking at my oldest active package just yesterday. It does what it says it does (although I haven't tested it in a bit), there's no change needed. Upstream did actually move since I last updated it, and released an update, but there's no functionality change. I haven't actually updated the package since 2010. The package is ufiformat, for formatting floppies in a USB floppy drive. It's probably obsolete at this point, as I don't think anybody has made new disks for 10+ years. I usually pull out my USB floppy drive and test it every few years, but there's really nothing much to break (it just sends USB commands to the USB device, and I don't think the kernel has changed that basic interface). Since I thought about it, I pulled out the drive and gave it a try... yep, still works as expected. It might be useful to someone dealing with legacy hardware, and there's no harm in having it, so I'll leave it. Maybe I'll make a reminder to try it again in a few years. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
