Building a non functional package just to remove dependency mess
by Miro Hrončok 14 May '14

14 May '14

Hi, perl-Language-Expr FTBFS in rawhide and F20 (since F20 was rawhide). There is some crazy stuff in Perl itself that prevents perl-Regexp-Grammars to work properly and perl-Language-Expr cannot work without proper perl-Regexp-Grammars. This leads to perl-Language-Expr in F20 being from F19 and having unresolved dependencies on perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.16.2). * It makes mess when updating F19 to F20 * It emails me on daily basic * I cannot fix it However, new version of upstream Language::Expr is out, that disables tests, while still not being functional. I would like to update perl-Language-Expr in F20 and rawhide. That would lead to: * No more mess * No more email for me * Nonfunctional package in Fedora While I believe that nonfunctional package is a bad think, I believe that anything is better than the situation now. Any thoughts?

one less binary package
by Daniel Pocock 06 May '14

06 May '14

Hi all, My resiprocate package produces multiple binary packages As of v1.9.x, one of the binary packages doesn't exist any more. It is called resiprocate-b2bua Is it OK for me to release v1.9 (without the obsolete package) to F20? Is there anything I can do to have resiprocate-b2bua eliminated from F20 as part of this update? As far as I know, this B2BUA code is not widely used and it is quite likely nobody has installed the package at all. In 7 years that this code has been in the upstream project, we only had two queries about it on the mailing list. Regards, Daniel

I asked a similar question a couple months back: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/packaging/2014-March/010097.html It turns out the recommended approach is to have one of the other packages obsolete older versions of the package you are removing.
