There is at present no policy on when and why packages should be deprecated. Have made a proposal to allow deprecation of packages only when they fail to build or are a security concern. In other cases, orphaning and retirement should be done. Comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome.
This would also likely impact package review guidelines, since there are packages that people may want in Fedora, which build but do not have much upstream activity. 1) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DeprecationPolicy#Upgrade%2Fcompatibility_impact _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
