I wasn't really asking for uninformed guesses, I was asking for precise information from the people who actually know about the relevant processes. The process here is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life . What I am basically asking is whether one needs to adopt an orphaned package in order to put it through that process, or whether it is OK for any packager to file a retirement request on a package that is clearly an appropriate candidate for requirement. But I phrased it more generally in case this is a 'known situation' with other wrinkles to it. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
