<PRE>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 ?
