I've filed a Council bug to approve the plan for deprecating repoman. |

The proposed plan, as copied from the bug is: |

|
| 6 |
> The devmanual has already been updated to contain information about pkgdev, in March 2021. See https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/devmanual.git/log/?qt=grep&q=pkgdev |
| 7 |
> |
| 8 |
> I have opened a devmanual pull request to remove references to repoman that might suggest that it is still an appropriate tool to use. See https://github.com/gentoo/devmanual/pull/274 |

| 10 |
> The next steps once the devmanual change is committed, I think, are |
| 11 |
> |
| 12 |
> - Give the wiki similar treatment as the devmanual, replacing and removing references to repoman that would suggest it is an appropriate tool to use. |
| 13 |
> |
| 14 |
> - Modify repoman to emit a warning informing users of its deprecation |
| 15 |
> |
| 16 |
> - After some period of time, maybe 6 months, give last rites to repoman |
| 17 |
> |
| 18 |
> - Delete repoman from portage.git |
| 19 |
> |
| 20 |
> (and of course adding any features/behaviors we find lacking in pkgdev, et al) |
