Closed: Fixed by humaton. Opened by churchyard.

  • Describe the issue

I've noticed the following EPEL-only packages in the F37 mass rebuild reports:

Should be retired in Fedora branches dist-git but were not (I could only deal with that on rawhide):

  • python38-coverage
  • python38-pytest-helpers-namespace
  • python38-setuptools_scm_git_archive

dead.package in the rawhide branch, but still active in PDC

  • python38-hypothesis-epel

No rawhide branch, but active in PDC:

  • python38-requests_ntlm-epel
  • python38-pynetbox
  • python38-ntlm-auth-epel
  • python38-hvac

No branches at all, but active in PDC:

  • python38-netaddr

  • When do you need this? whenever

  • When is this no longer needed or useful? no idea

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact? EPEL-only packages reported as needed Fedora rebuilds

Thanks.

From @kevin's list of needs-rebuild packages in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/5CO4BBZBEQQ45UQIEHWASNHQKQ7CEUTF/, it looks like there are other EPEL-only packages that need to be retired on rawhide:

anthy-unicode-epel
double-conversion-epel
gcc-epel
inih-epel
iptables-epel
LibRaw-epel
mesa-demos-epel
pycairo-epel
python38-hypothesis-epel
python38-ntlm-auth-epel
python38-requests_ntlm-epel

orion added me as a co-maintainer on the python38 ones in @churchyard's first list, so I have gone ahead and retired them in rawhide. I'm not sure why coverage was even branched in the first place, but oh well...

I did all the non-python38 packages, because several of them were mine.
Out of all of them, there were only 3 that weren't retired, all the rest had been retired from rawhide a while ago.

I did the PDC updates for these

dead.package in the rawhide branch, but still active in PDC

  • python38-hypothesis-epel

No rawhide branch, but active in PDC:

  • python38-requests_ntlm-epel
  • python38-pynetbox
  • python38-ntlm-auth-epel
  • python38-hvac

No branches at all, but active in PDC:

  • python38-netaddr

I've retired iptables-epel in rawhide and f37. I can't retire f36 as "Fedora release (f36) is in state 'current' - retire operation is not allowed." cc @salimma

All packages should be now blocked correctly.
