I agree that if we should update 500+ packages, than its a system-wide change, but for that type, we are already too late and as mentioned, we are not happy with the name. > Jul 20, 2026 9:03:28 AM Aoife Moloney via devel-announce > <[email protected]>: > > > * Update gpgverify BuildRequires to openpgpverify > > Note that some packages pull in gpgverify via BRs on gnupg2 (or any other > virtual Provides of that package) so we'd have to figure out whether > those BRs are only to pull in the macro or also for other usages of the > gpg command during the package build when changing them. > Yes, this adds complexity and package maintainers are the best to evaluate this case by case. If we change macro under their hands, they will not have a chance to evaluate. If we will come with packaging guidelines, macro a PR/bug report, it should be more straight-forward (and it can come separately over the Fedora 45 lifetime).

Also, are there plans to backport this to any of the EPELs? We did not discuss this, but we have people interested in building from the same spec file for all Fedoras and RHELs so we might eventually pull this into RHEL somehow. Jakub
