But if you look at other old package that also don't build anymore, drip is not the only case: http://plf.zarb.org/qa/build.html http://plf.zarb.org/qa/age.html Which make me think we have a general problem here... I'd really like to achieve a sane working flow here, instead of living with it as we all do in mandriva world. If we can't fix packages, we should drop it than keeping them broken indefinitly. Sofar, each package has a maintainer, who should either assume responsability for it, or drop maintainership for it. We have tools for reporting problems (bugzilla and rpmcheck), we have tools for exchanging/dropping maintainership (bugzilla packager status), we have editable packaging documentation. We don't have sofar automated package deletion, nor even maintainer-accessible package deletion, but plf admins are more often requested to delete wrong upload than outdated packages, which make me think we have a social problem (how should we deal with the problem) rather than a technical one. So, what should we do there ? -- If the effort that went in research on the female bosom had gone into our space program, we would now be running hot-dog stands on the moon -- Murphy's Laws on Sex n°30 _______________________________________________ PLF-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.zarb.org/mailman/listinfo/plf-discuss
