[Bug 789268] Re: Please remove batmand-gateway-(source|dkms) from the Ubuntu archives (FTBFS)

[Colin Watson]

This has been done in oneiric: batmand 0.3.2-10 no longer ships these
two binary packages.

For Natty, this is not a matter for the Ubuntu archive administrators
since the batmand source package in natty still builds these two binary
packages; we don't do partial removals of some binaries from a source
package that still builds them.  Furthermore, we have never yet removed
a package from a stable release, and don't actually have much of a
mechanism for doing so (we might invent one if there were a credible and
substantial legal problem).  I suggest that an effective way to proceed
might perhaps be to propose a stable release update that turns these
packages into dummy packages that do nothing in particular except
perhaps display a note to the user about the problem.  For how to go
about doing that, see:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess

I'm unsubscribing ubuntu-archive for the time being, since there's
nothing this team can do.  Feel free to resubscribe us if you have an
action we can take.
