I plan to retire packages that were already announced 3 times next Monday.
Which packages?
Such packages that will be listed as 7+ weeks orphaned and will have no open
releng ticket. Might very well be none today.
llvm5.0 jistone, orphan, tstellar 0 weeks ago
This is needed for ARM by ghc:8.4 and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_8.4
And will you take it?
llvm6.0 orphan, tstellar 0 weeks ago
This is needed on ARM by ghc:8.6.
The same.
I have to say I am not really enjoying this ongoing aggressive package
retirement process.
OK, let's discuss this!
If packages are not broken and needed by other packages, then I don't see why we
are hurrying to break things.
Because we don't want orphaned packages. It brings further danger to the
distribution.
I think a better process might be for maintainers orphaning packages to contact
dependent package maintainers directly asking them to take over the package they
want to drop.
They should do this, but we cannot force them. Hence instead we are contacting
the dependent package owners via this mass e-mail. All maintainers determined as
affected are bcc'ed.
