Hola,
I want to get a sanity check on something so I don't cause any dep
problems. I'm planning to merge the python-gpod package into the main
libgpod package (it was originally built separately due to
requirements on Extras packages).
This is planned for devel first, and then eventually F7. As I
understand it, I should:
a) add a dead.package file in the devel branch for python-gpod
explaining that it's been merged with libgpod, and delete the other
files from the branch.
b) ask rel-eng to block the package from devel.
I'm unsure about b. Can anyone help clarify this and let me know if
I'm missing other steps? (The package isn't in comps and will remain
in FC6 for sure, and F7 for a little while at least -- so steps 3 and
4 on PackageMaintainers/PackageEndOfLife aren't relevant.)
Thanks,

That's what I did for redhat-artwork-kde.

I suppose I should mark this as instead of 'devel' as 'any place the
package is being removed from'. Typically we don't kill packages in
released Fedoras, but for the obsoletes case we do, and thus we'd need
to block it from F7 as well.

The wording on the wiki does seem clear:
"Send mail to rel-eng(a)fedoraproject.org asking the package to be
blocked from the appropriate collections in which it is retired."
I used devel in my message since that's where it would be removed from
first. I don't know if it'd be slightly clearer to say branches
instead of collections.
(And I take this as a yes that I'll need to follow that step.
Thanks!)
