Did you check all external overlays? But more importantly, what harm do the recipes do to you? Does it offend you that there are 26 recipes? What are you trying to accomplish? If a recipe isn't doing any harm, just leave it alone. Deleting recipes just to please someones sense of aesthetics is the wrong thing to do. What would be a lot better is to fix the latest version for each minor release to use things like new style staging, bbclassextend, etc and *after* that clean up ask to remove the recipes that weren't updated. That way there is a recipe for each minor version so we can check regressions quite easily. But the real bonus is that the remaining recipes are of good quality. Your proposal doesn't address any QA concerns, it just makes the mess a bit smaller. And even then I would rather move recipe + associated patches to obsolete than delete it. When we start doing tarball releases recipes/obsolete will be a lot more important than it is now. On 28-02-10 20:39, Frans Meulenbroeks wrote: > We have 26 glib-2.0 recipes (and 8 native ones).
