This seems to be a theoretical problem, not a practical one. Why do you think we have no way of dealing with it? If a repository is not maintained, it will be removed from u-u and the packages can be adopted by someone else (or the whole repo forked). That simple. Do you have a problem with a specific u-u repo or maintainer? Why do you want to "fix" it this way, instead of talking to those people or pointing out package-specific problems? _______________________________________________ Exherbo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.exherbo.org/mailman/listinfo/exherbo-dev
