Re: Moving packages from "Requested" to "Can't be packaged"



I second that.

But maybe we still need a canonical list of problematic packages, and
the CBP status would only be aplicable to inform wannabe packagers that
there's an ongoing analysis on the "packagability" of that software.

On second thought, I'm not sure it would be worth it, but I like the
idea... (how unconclusive!)

Cheers
