https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1376149 Bug ID: 1376149 Summary: Review Request: fedora-obsolete-packages - A package to obsolete retired packages Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: tibbs@xxxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Spec URL: https://www.math.uh.edu/~tibbs/review/fedora-obsolete-packages/fedora-obsolete-packages.spec SRPM URL: https://www.math.uh.edu/~tibbs/review/fedora-obsolete-packages/fedora-obsolete-packages-26-1.src.rpm Description: This package exists only to obsolete other packages which need to be removed from the distribution for some reason. Fedora Account System Username: tibbs In accordance with the Packaging Committee ticket https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/645#comment:11 and the related FESCo decision in https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1620 I'm submitting a package which exists for no purpose other than to include Obsoletes: lines for packages which need to be removed from the distribution for some reason (generally because they've been retired and will cause dependency problems on upgrades if not removed). Note that the package contains no files and at this time no actual obsoletes. I guess at some point a single documentation file might be useful, but FPC hasn't actually developed a policy around this yet so that will come later. rpmlint will complain about missing %prep, %build and %install sections, but that's just rpmlint pointlessly complaining. I use the following rpmlint.cf file in the package directory addFilter("no-%prep-section") addFilter("no-%build-section") addFilter("no-%install-section") so when vim invokes rpmlint the errors are suppressed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
