17:03:30 <smooge> OK we don't have much old business from the last meeting because it was a couple of weeks ago
17:03:45 <smooge> We had the orphaning and tyll found some bugs in his script that didn't show all the orphans
17:03:52 <smooge> so we have another batch.
17:04:23 * bstinson hasn't had a chance to look through the email yet, how bad is it looking?
17:04:36 <smooge> nirik, bstinson do we want to have another orphan day or just have tyll do them when he has a chance?
17:04:48 <smooge> bstinson, it isn't any better than it was before the last one :)
17:04:54 * Jeff_S here a bit late
17:05:16 <nirik> did we say 6 weeks or something? or has the timeout already expired.
17:05:33 <smooge> nirik, most of these packages are over 6 weeks (some are 22)
17:05:48 <nirik> perhaps one last warn email and do them next week?
17:05:57 <bstinson> +1
17:06:06 <smooge> ok will send out an email and ask tyll to do them next week around Thursday?
Hi,
Are the orphan purges going to be batched in the future, or will they be automatic once a package hits that 6-week mark? What kind of advance warning can users expect before these packages (and their dependents) get removed?

As far as I understand it is not possible to automate this. Thus it will always be sort of batched. There is a weekly email which covers what packages are currently orphaned. People should watch for those if they are interested.

Does that answer the question? [Sorry headache so words not working well.]

Yes, thank you. Will you continue to give advance notification of the purge dates?
