[Mageia-dev] Removing obsolete packages

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 ?
+
+
