hi,
i would like to know how to remove a subpackage from the distribution. eg. there is a package X, which is in rawhide with version 1 and has subpackages a and b.
we have X-1 X-a-1 (dependent on X and Y) X-b-1 (dependent on X)
now the dependency Y is removed from rawhide and i create a new version 2 of package X without the dependency on Y and thus no subpackage X-a- 1.
now we have: X-2 (which obsoletes X-a-1) X-b-2
questions: a) do i have to add X-a-1 to fedora-obsolete-packages? b) is there a difference between rawhide and other branches?
the docs - at least those i found (mainly https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life#Obsole... )- are not too clear for me in that regard. besides: we should have a search-engine on docs.fedoraproject.org or even better over all our websites. google helps, but is not that great when it comes to not track users.
yours josef
