Description Santiago M. Mola (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-06-12 09:26:22 UTC 
"Removing packages" section of the Developer Handbook doesn't say that the package should be p.masked 30 days before removal, that a bug should be filled, or anything from the treecleaners procedures.

Reproducible: Always

Documents in /proj/ belong to those particular projects. Not the GDP's responsibility; reassigning.
Comment 2 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-21 17:40:59 UTC 
Do treecleaner procedures need to be documented here?  I don't think so, but I'd like more input.

Looks like [1] took care of the details of removing a package.

This document lists the actions that an individual developer has to do in order to remove a package. Treecleaners has nothing to do with this and their actions are documented on the project webpage
