#303 dist-git check: print warning if package is *no longer* packaged (i.e. is retired)
Opened 2 months ago by decathorpe. Modified 2 months ago

There are really three states a package for a crate can be in:

  • packaged (matching version or not is a different issue)
  • never packaged
  • packaged in the past but retired

The latter two are currently not distinguished by the dist-git check, it would be great if rust2rpm logged a warning in the "package used to be there but is retired now" case, since the retirement might contain useful information.

At the very least, it is good information to have, since the process for adding a new package is slightly different than the one for un-retirement.
