Process to remove "abandoned" packages?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have removed last use of rubygem-memcache-client package in Fedora minutes ago:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-rack/c/7490abe4066b965d222764acf0ae164788cf1721

and I think that rubygem-memcache-client would deserve to be retired from Fedora, because it is deprecated upstream for ~12 years and it functionality replaced by rubygem-dalli.

However, if I really wanted to do this, I'd need to ask Mo, possibly use unresponsive maintainer policy. But that is too much hassle, so I'll probably leave it alone.

But I'd really love to see some process to get such packages removed in much easier way. E.g.:


1. Open FESCo ticket with the request request

2. Send email to Fedora devel ML to collect feedback

3. Within some timeout, make a decision based on the feedback

4. Orphan package, which gives some additional time to take the package or even resurrect the package if it turns out to be needed.


Thoughts?
