In the other day, thread "Investigation of the F23 mass rebuild" "that nearly 4% of our binary packages haven't rebuilt in F23, is quite worrisome" , but my question is, should we need rebuild all that is legacy software ? We have do something or helping project migrate software or make a group of legacy software, that could be not part of base of Fedora and mass rebuilds , the mummified software . Looking for dependencies of pyorbit : repoquery --repoid=rawhide --whatrequires pyorbit\* gnome-python2-bonobo repoquery --repoid=rawhide --whatrequires gnome-python2\*| wc -l 76 Looks to me, gnome-python2 is deprecated and all software that depends on should be migrated . Other example /usr/share/gnome/help , things for gnome-doc-utils, this is documentation for Gnome2 ? this isn't used anymore ? isn't ? . Anyway, we should look for this classes of software and decide what todo , instead leaving them without a plan . Best regards, -- Sérgio M.
