Re: Broken dependencies in Fedora 9 - 2008-08-08

Hi,

This package has no more active upstream for almost 2 years and is now
too broken to be maintained in Package collection.
I am looking for removing it from repositories.

Best regards.
H.

Once a package is in released
versions of Fedora, there is no easy way
(actually there is no proper way) to withdraw a package.

All you can do is to request removal from future releases of Fedora,
i.e. you can request package removal for FC10, but you can not avoid to
continue maintaining a package once it has been release.

Thanks for your input.
Tonight, it will be removed from devel and i'll see what I can do for
previous release. :)

Remember to email rel-eng(a)fedoraproject.org about the removal.  They 
need to block the package in koji in addition to you removing the files 
from cvs.  (And marking it with a dead.package file)
