</I>>>><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> How about putting back previously unsupported packages? The only text editor that I use is joe and someone has decided to remove it from Mageia.
</I>>><i> I took the Redhat Enterprise version and ported it to mageia. For a while the maintainers of joe has incorporated a bug that would make it such that it would core dump if you tried to open more than one file at a time.
</I>>><i> I am willing to maintain this package.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Michel
</I>>><i>
</I>><i> No problem, since you are willing to maintain it, as long as it makes it past QA.
</I>><i> (Which means the core dump problem would have to be solved, if not already.)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> It would be an update to cauldron, and a backport for Mageia 1 (unless it was in Mandriva 2010.1/2, in which case it would be an update).
</I>><i>
</I>I think that the one in Mandriva core dumped. It doesn't on Centos, Scientific Linux or Fedora 15.
I would not update it to anything that core dumps. This was not just a problem on Mandriva but also on Ubuntu, SuSE and Fedora. I don't understand why some people thinks that when it has compiled, it is done considering that this particular core dump was
very obvious.
Michel
