Why was lilo removed from Tumbleweed ?
It is really annoying that someone is hellbent on screwing up my system.
At a guess because the old maintainer didn't want to maintain it anymore https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/811842
I have updated it in the past, but I guess I wasn't the maintainer.
Having raised two issues, one for Leap, one for Tumbleweed:
bug#1173385 bug#1174984
Why does anybody post just a bug number rather than a link? Sorry, Per, I just get annoyed every time somebody does this. :)
Fair enough - the shortcuts above work in bugzilla, it's probably muscle memory, but point taken.
Well, first I have to think of something that FF will remember as a way to reach the bugzilla and execute it. Then I type bug#1173385 and it says "Zarro Boogs found." whatever that means. But it doesn't show a bug for sure. And the same for bug#1174984. This is https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=bug%231174984 FWIW.
it appears the package maintainer took it upon himself to remove the package, instead of giving it up for adoption. I think this is an outright failure of our do-ocracy.
Sounds like an outright failure of the policy manual and the software that enforces it. i.e. It should be policy that maintainers can't remove packages (that's a meta-admin function or so) so their options are reduced to saying that they're not able/willing to continue to maintain it.
