Um, no?


The mktemp package's setup.hint now specifies the "_obsolete" category. The package directory has been moved from release/mktemp/ to release/_obsolete/mktemp.

What's to do?

I thought about creating a new, empty package with an updated version number -- but it's too late now. Once somebody has updated to the new coreutils, if they update using my new empty mktemp, then coreutils' mktemp.exe will be deleted. That's no good.
