#10687 Orphan pkgwat?
Closed: Fixed by kparal. Opened by kparal.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

I'm no longer interested in being one of the maintainers of pkgwat. The upstream repo has even been marked as archived, so I believe the project is completely dead. But because this package is under the fedora-infra ownership, I want to coordinate the steps with you.

Should I just remove myself from the package, or should I orphan the package?

Once that is done, I'd also like if somebody could remove me from the maintainers of pkgwat.api and pkgwat.cli from PyPI (it seems I can't leave myself). Or completely remove the projects, that's also an option, of course.

Ping @abompard @ralph

Thank you.

Go ahead and retire it I would say.

I was hoping we might re-write it to query mdapi or other sources, but no one ever did, so it's probibly best to just retire it.

I retired the package in distgit, flagged it in release monitoring, and asked to add it to fedora-obsolete-packages:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2087097

Can somebody please remove me from the PyPI projects (or kill those projects)?

@abompard or @pingou can one of you?

Done, I have removed everyone but Aurelien and I from these two projects on pypi.

Thanks, I believe this is done, then.

I missed that there's a separate python-pkgwat-api source package. I obsoleted that one as well right now.

Also, the projects are still visible in Anitya. It seems that admins are not paying attention to flagged projects. So perhaps someone with higher privileges needs to remove them:
