Yes, just retire and add a dead.package the devel branch.
There's no better way to do this currently.
And couldn't we make the script which builds the repos
understand some syntax extension to do it? E.g., what about
New Package SCM Request
=======================
Package Name: foo
Short Description: fobricates bar
Upstream URL:
http://pkgname-project.org/pkgname
Owners: jdoe
Branches: el6 epel7 -devel
InitialCC:
Perhaps it would do just the retirement of devel branch.
