Orphaning system-auto-death
 

After this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=663340

I realize I'm not remembering to update the EOL date often enough.

So, I'm orphaning system-auto-death. If no one steps up to take care of
it I'm going to issue an update which disables the cron job.

Could it be changed so that the deathdate is determined automatically when
the package is installed? Perhaps N months (18? 24?) from the build date of
fedora-release?

Or rather than setting it at install time, maybe make it six months after
the last yum update was received? Or count from when the last package was
installed. Or from the last date in the yum metadata.

maybe - but I have no interest in doing so.

If you want the pkg - you're welcome to do it but it's not useful to me.

I guess the question is: Does *anyone* but me care?

I suspect not b/c there's only one person reporting that their f13 or
f14 system went offline today. :)

I'm going to orphan it and block it from rawhide.

Matt,
If you could check the updates I just pushed and add karma I'd
appreciate it.

Thanks,

Well, maybe it's working *really well*. :)

So, do you want to take over the pkg?

Yeah, okay.

I think I'll change the f15 deadline to very-far-in-the-future, and then
when I invent some spare time, work on some of the other ideas for automatic
determination of the time. That's better than not having the package
completely zapped.
