[...] This directly leads to another problem: We either need to drop all orphaned packages at the point where the maintainer steps down *or* we need a orphaned-packages-task-force that maintains orphaned packages in the trees where they were shipped (example: if foo was shipped in extras/4 and is orphaned now we either remove it now or somebody has to maintain it from now on until FC4 is EOL) -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
