<PRE>Le samedi 16 octobre 2010 &#224; 13:33 +0200, Luca Berra a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> short explanation:
</I>&gt;<i> I maintain some package that has multiple spec and initscript hacks to
</I>&gt;<i> allow upgrading since 2005LE to current cooker (i.e. postfix). I really
</I>&gt;<i> believe it is too far and that some should be pruned.
</I>&gt;<i> The question is, how long should we maintain suck
</I>&gt;<i> hacks in packages?
</I>
While I cannot answer, i think we should indeed try to have a policy for
this.

And in fact, I would also try to remove older Conflicts and Obsoletes
from specs files, as this only add useless computation on urpmi side.
