Hello,
I'd like to orphan the evolution-mapi and openchange packages for the
Fedora 43. Both are for the Microsoft's MAPI protocol. The OpenChange
lost its upstream many years ago.
The Microsoft released the first version of an Exchange Web Services
(EWS) protocol in 2007, with an intent to replace the MAPI protocol
with it. They announced to disable the EWS protocol for the Exchange
Online (outlook.office365.com) [1] on the first October 2026 (the next
year), that being effectively replaced by the Microsoft Graph API, yet
another new protocol.
I believe it's time to retire the MAPI protocol in Fedora. I'll wait
with the orphan for one week. In case there is any high demand
(unlikely, from my point of view), I can keep them alive, but otherwise
I'm in favor of stop offering them the same as the Microsoft did.
It might be better off to directly retire them rather than orphan them if no one expresses a requirement for them.
Nothing seems to depend on these packages (`dnf repoquery what-requires
opencahnge` and `dnf repoquery what-requires evolution-mapi` return
nothing apart of the package itself).
Bye,
Milan
