Does the idea include removing srpm also?

Hello,
When a package is no longer supported, without being replaced by an
other package, and needs to be removed from the distribution, the
current procedure is :
- move the package on svn to obsolete directory
- ask a sysadmin to manually remove the package from repositories
Instead of asking a sysadmin to do it, I propose that we create a
package task-obsolete, with obsoletes on all packages that need to be
removed, so that the removing of the package will be done by youri.
I think it would be better :
- anybody with commit access can do it without asking a sysadmin
- we can have a list and logs of packages dropped since previous Mageia
release, which can be useful when writting release notes
- users who don't want to keep unsupported packages installed on their
system can install the package to remove them
What do you think ?
How about putting back previously unsupported packages? The only text editor
that I use is joe and someone has decided to remove it from Mageia.
I took the Redhat Enterprise version and ported it to mageia. For a while the
maintainers of joe has incorporated a bug that would make it such that it would
core dump if you tried to open more than one file at a time.
I am willing to maintain this package.

No problem, since you are willing to maintain it, as long as it makes it past
QA.
(Which means the core dump problem would have to be solved, if not already.)
It would be an update to cauldron, and a backport for Mageia 1 (unless it was
in Mandriva 2010.1/2, in which case it would be an update).
I think that the one in Mandriva core dumped. It doesn't on Centos, Scientific
Linux or Fedora 15.
I would not update it to anything that core dumps. This was not just a problem on Mandriva but also on Ubuntu, SuSE and Fedora. I don't understand why some people thinks that when it has compiled, it is done considering that this particular core dump was
very obvious.
