Hello,When a package is no longer supported, without being replaced by an other package, and needs to be removed from the distribution, the current procedure is : - move the package on svn to obsolete directory - ask a sysadmin to manually remove the package from repositories Instead of asking a sysadmin to do it, I propose that we create a package task-obsolete, with obsoletes on all packages that need to be removed, so that the removing of the package will be done by youri. I think it would be better : - anybody with commit access can do it without asking a sysadmin - we can have a list and logs of packages dropped since previous Mageia release, which can be useful when writting release notes - users who don't want to keep unsupported packages installed on their system can install the package to remove them What do you think ?
Great idea :) -- André
