It looks like this referred to mpi4py, which has already been converted to a new-style package. John On Thursday, April 21, 2016 at 11:22:04 AM UTC-7, David Roe wrote: > > Actually, it looks like this address might be better. > David > > On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 2:19 PM, David Roe

Ok, so that is a good reason to delete those packages, unless somebody steps in as a maintainer. El jueves, 21 de abril de 2016, 11:07:11 (UTC+2), John Cremona escribió: > > On 21 April 2016 at 09:58, mmarco wrote: > > I have emailed the maintainers whose email address I

Well, there is the list at http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/19220, but I don't think that's what you mean. It would be a starting point for packages which can be safely deleted from the server. -- John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

[sage-devel] Re: Delete old optional packages

In theory, each od these packages should have a mantainer. I think we should, at least, consult them before removing the packages. If a package has no mantainer at all... that is already a good reason to remove it from the list of optional packages. El miércoles, 20 de abril de 2016, 9:24:01
