I'd like to retire kudzu for F-13.
Why?
- There are places where it almost certainly does not work with current kernels
- It's so deprecated that one of its replacements (HAL) has since been frozen and deprecated
- Given that, its upstream is very dead
However, it is still being required by two programs:
- hwbrowser
- fwfstab
If someone wants to keep it limping along for thsese two programs I can orphan it. But I'd really rather just retire it.
I just noticed I hadn't actually done this yet. I've retired it for F-14/rawhide; it can remain in F-13, although it's unlikely to see any useful updates there.
I've retired hwbrowser in Rawhide/F-13 as well, it doesn't make sense to keep it around as it can't handle much of the the new hardware, i.e. anything kudzu doesn't know.
