Re: Retiring the pcre package from Fedora

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thanks for all of the replies,

The list of affected packages I've provided was generated using the 'dnf repoquery --alldeps --whatrequires pcre'
Is this command giving the right output or should I use another? If so which one?

We will definitely discuss all of these concerns within the team and get you a response as soon as possible.

The purpose of this wasn't to break anything, so if it's required to do it in more steps, I'm more than happy to do it right.

I understand the burden and I fully support you dropping this. But I
agree with decathorpe that this needs to be a two-stage approach, with
deprecation in F37 and removal in F38 or beyond. Retiring the package
in the upcoming weeks will be incredibly disruptive, especially since
the Beta freeze begins in a month.
