This is a bit unfortunate considering this is package
every Fedora packager has to have installed
I don't think that's true, can you explain?
Well, the "join the package collection maintainers" document
explicitly tells new packagers to install fedora-packager, because it
will "bring in everything necessary for general packaging work".
Sorry, I was going off the $SUBJECT that referened "fedora-package",
which
didn't exist as far as I could tell.  *fedora-packager*, yes indeed.
Sorry for the typo and confusion. I was speaking about fedora-packager
indeed.

And people need it not just because the "join ..." page suggests that,
but there appears to be circular dependency between fedpkg and
fedora-packager, presumably because fedora-pacakger ships some
configuration files for koji, etc.

I think that the idea behind this package was to have everything
possibly needed by Fedora packager installed by single package. But when
it is not maintained, then it somehow looses its point.
I'd like to revisit this discussion.

Can we get rid of that package or make it maintained again?
As far as I can tell it is maintained. After that last thread I talked
with the maintainers and they merged / answered all ourstanding PR's as
far as I know.

If there's more to do, PR's welcome I am sure.


So what about opened tickets in upstream? If it was maintained, there would be non or at least there would not be opened tickets such as [1]. Click on "merge" button once somebody loudly complains is not maintenance IMO.


Just browsing the upstream, these should be removed or updated:


https://pagure.io/fedora-packager/blob/master/f/src/rpmbuild-md5

(What was is good for anyway??)

https://pagure.io/fedora-packager/blob/master/f/src/fedoradev-pkgowners

https://pagure.io/fedora-packager/blob/master/f/src/getPackages.sh

https://pagure.io/fedora-packager/blob/master/f/src/fedora-qa

https://pagure.io/fedora-packager/blob/master/f/src/fedora-hosted.py

https://pagure.io/fedora-packager/blob/master/f/src/fedora-cert.py

(Not sure, but since kerberos, this is probably useless)


This is two thirds of the repository content. Again, I can't see how this is maintained.
