For example a "Rebuild the orphan packages task force" -- but who will do that? And who will maintain them later during lifetime of FE6? And how long are we going to do that? Forever? I don't think that will work. Maybe we should remove the orphaned packages and add a meta-package that "Obsoletes" and thus removes all the orphans during yum update. Also not nice, but at least a bit better. Has anybody a better idea? > Further, there are some packages marked as orphans, which are not really > orphans. Yeah, I suspected something like that. But how to we find out which? The rebuild might help a bit here, too. At least gtkglarea2 and wesnoth seem to be orphaned according to owners.list, but they were both rebuild by somebody. /me looks closer gtkglarea2 -- Gerard Milmeister <gemi[AT]bluewin.ch> wesnoth -- Michael Schwendt <mschwendt[AT]users.sf.net> (sigh ;-) ) > And some have been added to Extras through the new package process > and appear as orphaned nevertheless, e.g. "hula"? Uh? Interesting. I more and more like the "rebuild by maintainer" solution -- we find a lot of stuff this way that needs a closer look or even "fixing". It's a sort of "Fedora Extras inventory and cleanup just in time for a new release".
