#7: Policy and technical means for removing orphaned packages in EPEL ----------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: smooge | Owner: epel-wranglers Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Policy problem | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------------+---------------------------- Fedora ESCO has set a policy that packages that have been orphaned will be automatically removed after 6 weeks from channels. till has been working on a set of scripts to give proper notice of these orphaned packages and the chain of dependencies so that other packagers can be prepared for either taking up the package or their own package not working.
It was wondered if we should look at doing this in EPEL as we have had a sort of policy on doing this but not a formal one. It was decided at the 2014-10-03 meeting to set up the scripts for reporting problems and then seeing how big a hole we are in before doing any sort of auto-removal. Further discussion is to be in this ticket and future meetings. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/epel/ticket/7> Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL> Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel
