2023-10-19T09:06:53Z Miro Hrončok <mhroncok@xxxxxxxxxx>:
you might know I run a script that generates
https://churchyard.fedorapeople.org/orphans.txt
https://churchyard.fedorapeople.org/orphans.json
The script is located at
https://pagure.io/releng/blob/main/f/scripts/find_unblocked_orphans.py
I try to monitor the output and whenever it is stuck, I restart it.
Every 2 weeks I try to save a copy of the generated file and send it to
the devel list, devel announce list and the affected maintainers.
Every branching, the script needs (trivial) changes.
When I see packages orphaned for 6+ weeks, I retire them.
I took this task a coupe years back because I was not satisfied with
the status quo at that time (packages orphaned for year+ lingering in
the distro).
The task is semi-automated but not fully. After almost 5 years, I think
it's time to pass this to somebody else. Preferably to somebody who
would enjoy automating it entirely.
I can provide all the details about the operation if you want to become
the reaper's apprentice.
Please do let me know. I believe this process is essential for the
health of Fedora but I'd like to be relieved of this task.
Hi Miro,
Thanks for all of your work on the orphaned package process and related
processes up until now. I agree that making sure that packages in the
distro are maintained is crucial.
This task interests me and is similar to previous work I've done in the
Go ecosystem, but I'm not sure I'm up for additional responsibilities
right now, at least not before EOY.
Best,
Maxwell
