Change Proposal Name
Summary
Easy the task of removing packages, which were retired and no longer receives updates.
Owner
- Name: Miroslav Suchý
- Email: msuchy@redhat.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora Linux 36
- Last updated: 2021-10-05
- FESCo issue: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
- Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
Detailed Description
This follows the Changes/Fedora-Retired-Packages which was withdrawn. This time I provide a script remove-retired-packages (presented in the package of the same name) which identifies packages retired between N-1 and current (N) version. Alternatively user can run:
remove-retired-packages 32
which will look for packages between Fedora Linux 32 and the current version.
The packages are suggested to be removed one by one, which allows the admin to skip the package and keep it on their machine despite being retired.
Part of this proposal is to change the documentation for the upgrade.
