I've been operating on the premise that I am the maintainer of the package in question and marking it as WONTFIX and making it depend on the removal bug while at it. I don't see what's wrong in that.. If the removal gets reverted, all the depending bugs should be seen and acted upon. Why should we keep bugs open in our maintainer bugs list if we are 99% sure the package will get removed? We aren't treecleaners project, but the maintainers of the packages whose bug we are marking WONTFIX with the almost certain assumption the package will get removed soon... -- With Regards, Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio
