[edit] Autopackage

I believe that this entry meets the following prerequisites for VfD:

• Non-notability (Very few people will have heard of autopackage, it's only had the occasional announcmenet on Freshmeat, very little beyond that. Even fewer use autopackage; it's not a widespread GNU/X/Linux packaging system.)
• Potential vanity page (it's quite informative, but it's one of the few major pages that mentions Autopackage.)

The purpose of this entry would be better served by a merge with an entry about GNU/Linux packaging systems. --Rolloffle 23:28, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Seems like this page was never listed on the VfD page. I'm listing it so it can finish the process. I'm abstaining from voting at this time. —Mar·ka·ci:2005-02-10 13:25 Z

• Delete. Advertising for a software product at an early stage of its development. Its web site uses the undefined terms 'distro' and 'super-spiffy'. -- RHaworth 17:47, 2005 Feb 10 (UTC)
• I tend to shy away from voting on software package type things as I know little about utilities beyond Microsoft stuff that I use every day. But if what Rolloffle says is true, I'd vote delete. We should not have an entry for anything of low to moderate interest that hasn't even been released yet, beyond the other problems. Katefan0 18:46, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, software ad. Wyss 19:30, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, product not yet notable. 'Distro' is a commonly-used term for a software package distribution; for example, Ubuntu Linux is a different distro than Mandrake Linux, with different utilities and packaging around the same software kernal. But super-spiffy (from the website) is, um, not encyclopedically verifiable. At least until they release a product. Barno 20:46, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.
