Trouble retiring package on F21 branch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

We're trying to retire package eclipse-wtp-common on F21 and Rawhide. My
understanding is that this should be done F21 first, then Rawhide. F21
has proven problematic so far.

Bug is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1117475

History:

1. Package eclipse-wtp-common is obsoleted/provided by eclipse-webtools
subpackage

2. A package "administrator" (note: not owner), tries to use fedpkg to
retire, but it fails: Performs dead.package commit, then can't change
point of contact to orphan in the second part of that process.

3. Proven packager comes to help; tries to retire, gets message "You are
not allowed to retire this package."

4. Package owner comes along, tries to retire. Get's a little further in
that the package is now orphan for that branch, but then gets message:
"You are not allowed to retire the package: eclipse-wtp-common on branch
f21"

Is there something additional that we need to do, or is there something
in the above sequence of events that has screwed things up? Or is F21 in
some state that is preventing package retirement? Or is it something else?

Thanks in advance for any help that any of you can provide!

Gerard.
