Hi
I have noticed that lately, that there appeared bunch of deleterequests for factory: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/346128 (agg) https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/346107 (tokyocabinet) https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/346098 (pth) https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/347667 (ipw-firmware) https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/347654 (pangox-compat) https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/347780 (libfallocate) https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/348262 (tclap)
While some of them indeed seem indeed valid, there are several cases where which are questionable - is inactive upstream for package that is building properly, and lack of dependencies sufficient reason for removal from factory?
I would like to mention here, that from my own experience, as maintainer and user of some benchmarking tools, it is not uncommon that upstream is inactive for many years yet package is still useful and successfully
used.
What are your thoughts on this topic?
Cheers

pangox-compat is needed by some third-party applications, e.g. Cisco Anyconnect (VPN Client) please reject https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/347654 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
