<PRE>Does the idea include removing srpm also?

><i> Hello,
</I>><i>
</I>><i> When a package is no longer supported, without being replaced by an
</I>><i> other package, and needs to be removed from the distribution, the
</I>><i> current procedure is :
</I>><i> - move the package on svn to obsolete directory
</I>><i> - ask a sysadmin to manually remove the package from repositories
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Instead of asking a sysadmin to do it, I propose that we create a
</I>><i> package task-obsolete, with obsoletes on all packages that need to be
</I>><i> removed, so that the removing of the package will be done by youri.
</I>><i> I think it would be better :
</I>><i> - anybody with commit access can do it without asking a sysadmin
</I>><i> - we can have a list and logs of packages dropped since previous Mageia
</I>><i> release, which can be useful when writting release notes
</I>><i> - users who don't want to keep unsupported packages installed on their
</I>><i> system can install the package to remove them
</I>><i>
</I>><i> What do you think ?
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
