There is a process to orphan packages, but it is a process started by the maintainer. Periodically, you can see on the -devel list that unresponsive maintainers have their packages orphaned. This leads to all sorts of dependency issues. A bunch of java dependencies were orphaned earlier this year, iirc, and it caused many packages to be removed because their dependencies could not be met. Basically, a huge chunk of the java ecosystem in Fedora went away. -- Jonathan Billings <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
