Hi all, Many people branch stuff from Banshee repositories, and now I can't do maintenance on the repositories because of some branches (I want to remove builds for older distributions). This situation is making maintenance a chaotic experience and this are the options someone offered to me: 1. Contact the people who did the branches and ask them to remove them Now, I have far better things to do with my time than going on wild goose chases... For starters the maintainers of serious projects shouldn't have to deal with this, otherwise implement a solution that allows us to block proejcts for branches or that branches require authorization from the project maintainers so we don't have to deal with this situation. Why should we continue maintaining stuff for openSUSE when this kind of situation are making our life's into a living hell ? So far the only person who branched stuff from Banshee main repositories who contacted me regarding that was Greg KH for Tumbleweed. That's the way it should be... I'm aware of Greg's needs and I can take decisions not to injure his efforts... But there's like a zilion more of branches from people I've never heard from... This is not making my life easier. What's the secret recipe for brute force removing all the stuff I don't want in those repos regardless of the branchers positions ? (assuming they have one, I'm not contacting a trillion people)... It's not the first neither the second time that I never get replied... so I need a way out or I swear a lot of stuff is going orphaned.
