Well, my point is that identifying such packages is basically useless if no action is taken. So, at some point, it's a good to think of ways this data could be used as a basis for QA work. You might be interested in taking a look at bapase <http://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bapase.cgi>. It combines different kind of data to identify "interesting" packages, and is coupled with a process to orphan or remove those packages. (work around bapase hasn't been very active recently, though) -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
