Hi,

I have removed last use of rubygem-memcache-client package in Fedora minutes ago:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-rack/c/7490abe4066b965d222764acf0ae164788cf1721

and I think that rubygem-memcache-client would deserve to be retired from Fedora, because it is deprecated upstream for ~12 years and it functionality replaced by rubygem-dalli.

However, if I really wanted to do this, I'd need to ask Mo, possibly use unresponsive maintainer policy. But that is too much hassle, so I'll probably leave it alone.

But I'd really love to see some process to get such packages removed in much easier way. E.g.:


1. Open FESCo ticket with the request request

2. Send email to Fedora devel ML to collect feedback

I'd do this, cc the maintainer. Assume they agree / don't care if they don't argue against it.

3. Within some timeout, make a decision based on the feedback

Use provenpacakger powers to retire the package.


You can't retire package with provenpackager powers. If that was possible, I'd probably do that.

And also, I really think that it would be enough to orphan the package and the rest of the process has been well established already.

That should follow the spirit of https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Who_is_allowed_to_modify_which_packages/#digest
