I wanted to check up on that in this email and ask if you might know what the situation surrounding that package is now?

Hi Karthik, I added on the openbmc mailing list to cc as if you have the question, there’s a good chance someone else will some day.

The overall goal is to get rid of the skeleton repository. As you noted, I did a bit of clean up a while (ago)[1] and at least broke out the skeleton recipe to include its name. I think the only way we finally get rid of skeleton is when someone  goes back to at least the systems we support in CI and moves them to the phosphor-power version, or we eventually remove the servers from CI that are using skeleton. I don’t currently have any plans to do this work.

If you’re interested in working on it, you could push up a change to gerrit that removes the skeleton recipe and see what fails.

Andrew
