Hi all.

We pushed an update for log4cplus in F24+ [1]. It is a rebase and one of the dependent packages is "pion-net". The problem is that pion-net does not build on F24+, which stops us from pushing update on F24 which would not break dependencies. There is an older build of pion-net in F24 from times when it was building just fine.

What should be the process here? Should we untag the package from F24 or should I ignore the broken dependency? I don't see any good solutions to this problem other than fixing the FTBFS in pion-net.

Also note that pion-net is orphaned.



Well if you need it leaving it orphaned isn't going to help you (plus when it gets retired your package will no longer meet its dependency requirements so will need to be retired without the dep picked up).

So as I see it options are:
1) Pick up pion-net yourself
2) Convince someone else to pick up pion-net

Either way the FTBFS will need to be fixed ... unless you retire log4cplus from F24+ ... although I'm guessing you don't want to do that.
