Removing a package without contacting the maintainer is certainly not appropriate behavior, however, claws-mail seems to have been in Factory forever, why was there even a separate Packman package? I'd also argue that the shape of the development project doesn't matter, people can get it either through the oss repo of a released version or through Tumbleweed/Factory if they want to live on the bleeding edge. But more generally it would be helpful if there was some consensus among Packman contributors what the scope of Packman actually should be. Currently everyone seems to have a different perception of that and things have changed considerably since the project was founded. -- Guido Berhoerster _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
