No can do; if they're not cleaned they can't be in the official repos due to copyright/trademarks/legal-soup issues. Anyway, status update: o drakwizard: cleaned by Anne and is good to go o drakfax: the code hasn't been touched in ~2years, so it's been removed from the repos as it's not really supported o drakstats: it needs server-side support, this isn't viable for Mageia 1; so it's been removed for now, until such a time that support is implemented in the Mageia servers. After upgrading drakfax will be considered, by urpmi, as an orphan package as it's not required/suggested by anything any more. As for drakstats, nothing suggests/requires it already, users who have it, will have to remove it manually, though maybe something should obsolete for now... (I'll ask on IRC). -- Ahmad Samir
