How do I remove a package from Extras-Devel?
Hi,
I have a package on Extras-Devel that I would like to remove, qsportsevent. The reason is that I have changed the name of the app to MobiTifo, and I would like to purge all old instances and avoid having both availble in the repositories and avoid confusion for the users. I understand that there is no 'self-service' way of doing this (yet), so who can help me with this? /Magnus |

Write Niels a mail and ask him to delete the package. niels at maemo.org

Who is in charge for extras-devel now? I'd like to remove the libx11-data package.

Re: How do I remove a package from Extras-Devel?
I guess this package is causing problems with Autobuilder now... see this excerpt from a failed build:
Code:
Get:1 http://stage fremantle/free libx11-data 2:1.1.99.6+0m5+withxcb [183kB] |
Re: How do I remove a package from Extras-Devel?
It's even strange that this package is in extras-devel. The autobuilder announced that it would remove the package and not queue it, because it is contained in Nokia and/or SDK binaries. I removed the package from the control file afterwards and reuploaded the sources. Probably the size mismatch comes from different builds.
As an immediate fix, try using libx11-data (= 1.1.99.6+0m5) | libx11-data (>> 1.1.99.6+0m5+withxcb) as dependency (Edit: looked up the correct string, use ">>" instead of simply ">", as this actually means ">=", Edited again: removed the 2: and additional libx11-data). |

Please remove the x11proto-dev package as well. It's a remain from a previous mess with my libxcb1 upload and wasn't deleted.
Autobuilder is must be really borked if it allows packages from sdk. It was fixed after the mess with libxcb1. |

Remove a package from Extras-Devel?
Have you tried any of the following... E-mail techstaff@m.o? Ask on IRC freenode #maemo? Report on bugs.m.o? PM a council or techstaff member? |

There should be some interface to remove the binaries without manual interventions

Still, I think there should be a way for the uploader to remove a package automatically, e.g. by "dput package-version.revoke" or something like that, or at least a way to look at the entire build result before it is queued for inclusion to extras-devel. |

http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_team There is some information here. http://wiki.maemo.org/Migrating_to_C...gment.2Ffix.29 However it is perefered to use bugs.m.o and/or contact techstaff via techstaff.m.o for all infra issues. Autobuilder is in a fragile state at the moment, more of an issue is the fact that it let you push a "system package". |
