Unless the packager wants to bundle and fix them.
I think you slightly misunderstood. We are *definitely* retiring those packages. So they cannot install them on F34+. I'm saying that we don't want them in fedora-obsolete-packages because there's no strong reason to forcibly remove them from systems that have them installed currently (and adding hundreds of packages to Obsoletes: would grow the repo metadata, which is already painfully large). They'll just bitrot. _______________________________________________ nodejs mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
