The Wiki page where we try to track packages which become orphaned: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/OrphanedPackages In an attempt to clean up the package repository further for FC5, and based on the results of FESCO's last meeting, the following unmaintained packages have been disabled in Fedora Extras CVS (which means, the spec file won't build anymore without editing it) and more importantly, have been removed from the Fedora Extras Development repository. This implies that users may need to "yum remove" any of these packages from their installations because else upgrades from FC4 or older may not work without problems.

This means that owners.list should be adjusted accordingly. For every "potentially orphaned" package (for an explanation of this terminology refer to the Wiki page) there must be at least one person who is added to incoming bug reports in bugzilla, either as the package owner or via Cc. As another step we need to decide what to do with these packages in Fedora Extras 4 (and older). -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
