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.
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.
