Description Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2025-01-18 14:21:07 UTC
Please dissolve #gentoo-vdr

Reason: 
The channel is quiet since years.
It arrived at a point where it would make sense to shut it down and users with questions regarding the packages ask on one of the other channels, that fit. 

Unused channels clutter the list of available channels, making it harder for users to find active and relevant ones. We have fewer channels to monitor and maintain, reducing their workload and potential management issues. Active but empty channels can give a negative impression to new users, as they may see the network as inactive or poorly maintained.

Agreed by negril and madmartin (last ones on this channel) via IRC

Reproducible: Always

What do you want us to actually do with it? Redirect it to #gentoo or some other channel (which?)
Comment 2 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2025-01-18 14:33:44 UTC
On IRC, we discussed and agreed on redirecting to #gentoo.
