Because it can only be retired from F31 before Final Freeze---and that for F31 is on 2019-10-08 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life#Procedure Have I misunderstood this? > If you want somebody else to pick up the package, please orphan it rather > than retiring it, so people at least get 6 weeks to fix it (or, since it > also FTBFS, the time frame left in the FTBFS process, whichever is shorter, > but this is an F31 FTBFS, so the 6 weeks from the orphaning process will be > the shorter deadline). > > We already have retirement processes with pretty short deadlines.

I always appreciate it. However, I'm the maintainer here so it would not be wrong to assume that I decide whether the reason is good enough or not. In this case: - upstream maintains and supports the package officially on Debian---they even provide paid support: https://freemedforms.com/en/downloads/root - upstream no longer makes the development code available (for reasons that are not worth discussing here): https://freemedforms.com/en/downloads/sources So, I would prefer it be retired, but fine I've orphaned it and will let the process retire it eventually. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
