Thanks Adrian. Though this doesn't work. The command itself seem to work as: osc log -D openSUSE:Dropped $removed_package instead of osc log -D openSUSE:Factory $removed_package

No, I had the later one in mind. :Dropped is just created by some private script somewhere. But OBS writes the drop reason into the removed package if used properly.

I tried a few packages from openSUSE dropped though it shows only an empty changelog. I tried it on BitTorrent, CASA and IPCE

It might be that they got removed at a point of time, where internal scripts did this in some unclean way. But check gnuboy for example, you can find reason and request id why and whom wanted it dropped: osc log -D openSUSE:Factory gnuboy

Hi all,

i read about the openSUSE:Dropped here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2009-03/msg00064.html

Is there any list or any other way I can see the reason it was dropped? Also if there are dropped packages because of legal reasons like stated in that old document they shouldn't even reside on OBS. Maybe it is possible to create a wiki package with a complete list of the dropped packages and why they have been dropped (If the answer to the 1st question is no, I'd like to help with that wiki page)?

osc log -D openSUSE:Factory $removed_package

should tell.
