Hi! I've been the maintainer of tuxracer, a codebase that has been dead upstream for quite some time, after upstream went proprietary. PlanetPenguin Racer (ppracer), a tuxracer-derivat based on the last GPL version of tuxracer, has recently been packaged and uploaded into the archive by Alexander Schmehl. As ppracer is actively maintained and superceeds tuxracer, I wish to remove tuxracer from the archive, including sarge (i know, it's short), and provide users with a transition path to a same-but-superiour game. I am not sure on the necerssary requirement, but are the following steps correct for a smooth transition? tuxracer, tuxracer-data => planetpenguin-racer, planetpenguin-racer-data 1. Upload new ppracer packages with planetpenguin-racer Conflicts/Replaces: tuxracer planetpenguin-racer-data Conflicts/Replaces: tuxracer-data 2. After above has been accepted into the archive, upload empty,transitional tuxracer(-data) packages with tuxracer Depends: planetpenguin-racer tuxracer-data Depends: planetpenguin-racer-data 3. post-sarge, ask for removal of tuxracer packages Thanks for your advice. -- Oliver M.
