For the fedpkg/packaged DB integration you can try this patch: https://fedorahosted.org/fedpkg/attachment/ticket/8/0001-retire-packages-in-packagedb-as-well.patch If you first apply http://ur1.ca/f6nkk you can run fedpkg from the git repo directly to test it. I do not have a package to retire, therefore I was not able to test it yet. A script to get all retired packages from datanommer is also already working pretty good. It only needs integration to listen on fedmsg to get it completely automated: http://ur1.ca/f6xco Regards Till -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
