<PRE>Le lundi 26 mars 2012 19:46:56, Florian Hubold a écrit :

</I>><i>
</I>
The problem with dropping a package that was present in Mageia 1, in my
opinion, is that it's too late to do so. By shipping it we implicitly promised
to maintain it. Of course with that kind of logic we would never drop any
package, but I just wanted to point out that dropping a package is not that an
easy solution : when dropping something, there should be a note somewhere (in
the errata?), there should be a warning before upgrade (ideally "the following
packages found on your system are no longer supported in Mageia 2 and will not
get security updates. Do you want to continue?").
I'm not volunteering to maintain it, so I won't strongly oppose dropping it,
but if possible I'd like we actively looked for a maintainer first rather and
drop it only as a last solution.
Best regards
Samuel Verschelde
