Hi folks, |
2 |
|
3 |
|
4 |
maybe you remember the discussion about package removal and |
5 |
problems for users on that ... |
6 |
|
7 |
The problem was: someone (who's not reading this list) might be |
8 |
interested in some package (or even had installed it) and now |
9 |
gets trouble because its (from his view) sudden removal. |
10 |
|
11 |
An solution could be an database of packages scheduled for |
12 |
removal. But this database has to be maintained. And it doesn't |
13 |
seem that there's someone who's interested in doing this extra work. |
14 |
|
15 |
As I've seen talks about such removals seem to happen under the |
16 |
suject "Last rites for $package", I'm now going to set up an little |
17 |
mail robot, which catches those mails and adds the named package |
18 |
to an removal-scheduled-database. |
19 |
|
20 |
To make this working realiably, we simply need to agree on |
21 |
one thing: |
22 |
|
23 |
: If an package is going to be removed, there *always* has to be |
24 |
: an discussion w/ subject "Last rites for $package" |
25 |
: (where $package is the qualified package / port name) |
26 |
|
27 |
Maybe we could also define other some other subject for the |
28 |
cases that removal is aborted or committed. |
29 |

31 |
What do you think about that ? |
