could you replace the bittorrent package (removed) by a copy of this annoucement? just to make sure any people is informed (including people not reading this mailing list)
I consider this the wrong approach.
Such information belongs to the list of dropped features/ packages available from the wiki.
Even a separate section in the release notes of a new version might fit well.
But keeping entries with pure meta information in the RPM DB would diminish it to some sort of trashcan.
It might not be an entirely bad idea - when someone/newbie goes to search for <some package>, it could be quite helpful for him to get a result of "dropped due to .....".
Yes, but that might not require to keep a dummy package and might not be stored in the RPM DB. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
