--- Comment #38 from Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
Now that we have (or will have shortly) fully CryptX-based versions of
perl-Net-SSH-Perl in F-36, F-37 and all EPELs, it looks to me that there are no
remaining dependents of perl-Crypt-RSA in Fedora (other than the Suggests: for
it in perl-Net-SSH-Perl, but I can get rid of that in due course).

I'm seriously considering retiring the following group of packages, which are
only currently used by perl-Crypt-RSA as far as I can tell:

perl-Crypt-RSA
perl-Crypt-Primes
perl-Crypt-Random
perl-Math-Pari
libpari23

The last release of Crypt-RSA was in 2009. Dana Jacobsen created an alternative
implementation (https://metacpan.org/dist/Alt-Crypt-RSA-BigInt) that avoided
the need for Math::Pari, which would be a big win itself, but that doesn't look
to have gained any traction.

Does anyone see any issues with retiring these packages in Fedora? I can ask on
the Perl devel list too but I think most of the interested parties are here
anyway.
