Subject: bug#76194: Obsoleting package-x.el
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2025 09:26:27 -0500

> I think we should obsolete package-x.el, which contains largely
> unmaintained code to keep an ELPA package archive.  This is undocumented
> since 2019, lacking (e.g. doesn't support signed packages), and is
> hardly used by anyone.  For example, MELPA and GNU ELPA have their own
> scripts for this.
>
> If there is any interest in it, I'd suggest that interested parties
> should pick it up and continue its development on GNU ELPA instead.
