Good Morning Everyone, A little while ago we have received the request on the infra issue tracker to remove all maintainers of retired packages [1]. So today I decided to look at what this would look like and wrote a script that queries PDC for the list of all branches on all projects [2], gather from it a list of all the packages that are retired on all their branches (so all branches are ``active=false``). For each of these retired project, it queries dist-git to find out if they still have maintainers in addition to the ``orphan`` user. The outcome of this script can be found there: https://pingou.fedorapeople.org/retired_packages_with_maintainers.log Some stats about this: - 881 RPM packages are retired and still have maintainers (out of 4322 retired RPMs). - 662 of them are not orphaned - 42 modules are retired and still have maintainers (out of 42 retired modules). - all of them are not orphaned - 2 containers are retired and still have maintainers (out of 3 retired containers). - all of them are not orphaned Which brings a couple of questions: - Do we have a documented way to mark modules as orphaned or retired? - Should we orphan all the RPM packages that are retired but not orphaned? Finally, does everyone agree about the original request: "remove all maintainers of retired packages"? Or should we bring this to FESCo? Thanks for your inputs, Pierre [1] https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8600 [2] https://pdc.fedoraproject.org/extras/active_branches.json (8+Mb file) _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
