Agreed, and there are surely other unmaintained packages that lack sufficient need or interest to stay and should be dropped as well. Furthermore, what is the procedure for dropping a package? The wicd package is broken and has unpatched security vulnerabilities[1]. It was previously asked on this list if it should be dropped, nobody objected, a bug was filed asking to drop it an assigned to [email protected] [2], but it hasn't been dropped as far as I know. [1] - https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5608 [2] - https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5926 Some other candidates for removal that come to mind: abrt/libreport/btparser - tool for sending bug reports to RedHat, does not seem to belong in Mageia, our drakxtools have their own tool for sending crash reports to our bugzilla, unpatched security issues. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6523 sos - another RedHat-specific thing, unpatched security issues. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6525 libgnomesu - really old and unmaintained upstream, unpatched security issues, probably not needed. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7068 I'm sure there are plenty of other good candidates.
