-# RPM module
-
-The RPM module can be used to create a sample rpm spec file for a
-Meson project. It autodetects installed files, dependencies and so
-on. Using it is very simple. At the very end of your Meson project
-(that is, the end of your top level `meson.build` file) add these two
-lines.
-
-```meson
-rpm = import('rpm')
-rpm.generate_spec_template()
-```
-
-Run Meson once on your code and the template will be written in your
-build directory. Then remove the two lines above and manually edit the
-template to add missing information. After this it is ready for use.

+## Removal of the RPM module
+
+Due to lack of interest, lack of maintainership, and lack of a clear purpose,
+the RPM module has been removed.
+
+Users interested in one-shot tools to generate an RPM spec file template for
+distro packaging, are encouraged develop an external tool that reads the
+introspection data.
+
+For more details, see https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/9764
