How do one delete a package from repos?
 

I edited my own thread, and I will be spamming it on next post,
so that it will get to be seen on top.

What is going on.:
I need to delete a package I uploaded my self, and there is
also another package, not maintened by me, but that needs deletion.
Is there any way I can do it my self?
I found out that by using an URL like this .:

http://maemo.org/packages/delete/nameofpackagehere/

It would be deleted, however I do not have priviledges for this,
even though I can upload to devel... So if I can upload my own app
to devel, I could have the right to delete it on my own will.

The package name is gpspgui ( NOT gpspmgui, they are different
packages, and causing some great deal of confusion on app man)
And it's link here .:

http://maemo.org/packages/delete/gpspgui/

Could someone please help me out?
Thanks in advance =)

Let's be realistic, end-users do have extras-devel enabled because most of the software never gets to extras-testing, not to mention extras.

I would also like to be able to delete my package from extras-devel.

AFAIK, there's no way for developers to directly delete applications from the repository. You could try contacting the repo manager (X-Fade IIRC) and requesting that it be deleted. Filing a bug about it may also work.

Thanks for the answer, I understand that may be many reasons for
this option to don't be there, but still, could be really useful, and save a lot
of time, could be something like the system to promote packages,
or to be able to upload to extras devel.
Of course, I am just thinking out loud, again, thanks =)

Edit.: I was able to delete the package contacting X-Fade, so if
anyone is intesrested in doing this, it's the only way I found.
Hope it helps someone!
