Yeah, but leave me as a co-maintainer as things might get better. I did some

It's possible that this used to be true, i.e. that the number of people who
compiled *their own versions* of packages that are already in the distro
was non-trivial. Nowadays, I'm pretty sure this happens very very rarely.
People install external and self-compiled packages mostly when they cannot
get something from the distro.

I don't have any formal numbers for this, but based on the bug reports
that come in before and around every release, it's quite obvious that
the number of users negatively impacted by non-obsoleted distro
packages (*) dwarves the number of people who have an external
package, and that in turn is still higher than those that have an
external package with a lower nevra.

(*) Fedora removes many many packages and subpackages on every
release. So every non-minimal installation of Fedora will have such
stale-but-not-obsoleted package after *every* upgrade. It's only a question
of time until some so-version changes and such packages cause upgrades
to break. Normal users are (correctly) wary of --allowerasing which is
risky and requires a good understanding of packaging and recovery methods.

I understand why this policy drives adamw crazy. I think we're shooting
our users in the foot.

I would welcome eyes on this. Upstream has been informed about it, but they have not

This package is basically a mini-Firefox and usually breaks from Mingw-w64 updates. 
I haven't had any time to patch it myself.

You seem have forgotten about the problems, such obsoletes cause, e.g.

Not obsoleting retired packages is arguably inconsistent with the
Workstation PRD:

"Upgrading the system multiple times through the upgrade process
should give a result that is the same as an original install of Fedora
Workstation."

I understand that is a goal, not a policy or release criterion.


It leads to situations like 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1490074 where the package 
doesn't work, and there's not even any possibility for fixing it (the 
package was abandoned and it's successor was abandoned as well).


Situations like these just embarrass Fedora, so I agree with Adam that 
something should be done, but as the comments in #1490074 show, people 
aren't sure what exactly should happen.

I expect it is an impossible goal as it is making the installer guess that
you didn't want to keep that version of wumpus from RHL6.2 which works
still but isn't in the repository. And forcing an obsolete has knock-on
effects. At best I can obsolete the version of emacs-freebird which came
from Fedora up until release N, but if the person has a version they
compile themselves.. then a centralized obsoletes has a good chance of
removing it unless the packager did exactly the right things in the
obsoletes and the other version of emacs-freebird also did the right
things. I expect that instead you end up with a lot of pissed off people...
which no one has the emotional labour to deal with.

Sure, very common. Packages are frequently retired and not formally
obsoleted by anything else: in this case, if you have them installed,
they'll stay installed until some dependency issue crops up and you
have to remove them manually (or use --allowerasing) to clear it up.

Some people don't see any problem with this, personally it drives me
crazy and I wish it were policy that *every* retired package must be
obsoleted. But it isn't.

Exactly. We have fedora-obsolete-packages to gather Obsoletes which don't
fit anywhere else, but there's no policy to require all packages which
have become obsolete to be added there.

Yes, normally there's nothing to cause it to be removed.  At some point 
you will probably get a conflict when a required library soname is

AFAICT, a lot of these packages should have been retired ages ago.

Is the retirement procedure for long-standing FTBFS packages being done at all?


Not at all. See https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7718

It seems nothing is intrinsically wrong with the package.
I rebuilt it in rawhide, to reduce the list of stale packages.

> Also it has a source rpm checked into dist-git.  :P
Most likely because the sources were not in the cache, so somebody
committed them to dist-git instead.

The DMARC mitigation is enabled for devel list. I am not sure why it's
not matching his emails. Can you open a infrastructure ticket and we can
look into it?

I don't know if the mitigation is enabled on test list. You would need
to mail test-owners and ask them.

Almost half of these are noarch packages (178 out of 441---see list at the 
bottom).


For instance, dia-gnomeDIAicons is a noarch package, specifically data for 
'dia' diagram editor. It actually works, and even contains reasonable and

Its packaging _is_ confusing because the actual icon collection is called 
RIB-network.

dia-gnomeDIAicons specifically appears to be in some sort of weird state. 
No builds appear to have been *attempted* since F21.

AFAICT, a lot of these packages should have been retired ages ago.

Is the retirement procedure for long-standing FTBFS packages being done at all?

Stale packages in Fedora 30

Since I was looking at a copy of the F30 repo for amd64, here's a list
of a bunch of packages whose dist tag suggests they haven't rebuilt
successfully in any currently-supported Fedora release. I'm sure some
of these are incompletely retired or there's otherwise some good reason
for it, this is just to raise visibility.
