Description Funda Wang 2011-09-12 17:01:33 CEST

Hello,

Please remove qt3 and fltk2 from cauldron, for the reasons that:

1. qt3.x is an old version, which is not being actively developed by upstream. Currently, no packages requiring qt3 in cauldron.

2. fltk2 is a branch under heavy development, we shouldn't provide alpha packages even for cauldron. The reason we introduced fltk2 was that dillo is requiring it, but it is not true for dillo3. So, there is no packages requiring fltk2.

Comment 1 D Morgan 2011-09-12 17:15:26 CEST

for qt3 iirc we still need it for lsb ( this is why we have only the runtime part ).

Comment 2 Funda Wang 2011-09-13 09:38:04 CEST

Then what about fltk2?

If qt3 must be kept, then I'll give a look at how it can be compile against libpng 1.5

[08:05] <marja> :v fltk2

[08:05] <marja> :v qt3
[08:05] <Sophie> There is no rpm named `qt3' in (Mageia, *, *)

@ Funda

Can this report be closed?

Comment 4 Funda Wang 2011-11-30 09:04:02 CET

mmm...

sophie only checks binary names I think. There is still fltk2:
libfltk2-2.0.0-0.8800.2.mga2.i586.rpm
libfltk2-devel-2.0.0-0.8800.2.mga2.i586.rpm

Thanks, Funda.

Is it ok to change the summary to:

"Request to remove fltk2 from cauldron distrib" ?

(libqt3-3.3.8b-26.mga2 is in cauldron and from comment 2 I understand you agree with keeping it)

ping?

Comment 8 Marja Van Waes 2011-12-11 08:44:03 CET

@ Funda

Sorry, I didn't know whom to assign to. 

I'll now assign to Kamil, who knows a lot about policies and has been moving packages to the obsoletes directory in svn before.

Comment 9 Manuel Hiebel 2011-12-11 11:36:53 CET

in fact it's only sysadmin

> in fact it's only sysadmin

Why wasn't this assigned to them, then?

Comment 11 Kamil Rytarowski 2011-12-11 13:06:34 CET

If this is really droppable then:

https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packagers_svn#How_to_drop_a_package_from_SVN.3F

And finally assign to sysadmins.
