• Describe the issue

It looks like some recently retired packages are now stuck in an inconsistent state. For example, the "jaxb-fi" package was retired from the rawhide and f35 branches (dead.package files are in dist-git), but the package has only been blocked from koji for f35. Rawhide repositories still contain the package even after multiple successful composes.

The affected packages I found are:

• jaxb
• jaxb-dtd-parser
• jaxb-fi
• jaxb-istack-commons
• jaxb-stax-ex
• xmlstreambuffer

I'm not sure if there other packages in this inconsistent state. It might be worth investigating packages that were retired from rawhide at the same time as these packages.

I think they should be blocked from the f36 tag in koji, but I'm not sure if there's anything else wrong with the state of the affected packages.

• When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

Before F36 branch point, I guess? Otherwise retired packages will leak into F36 repositories, as well.

• When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

Never. Or at least, not once the packages are unretired (which might be never, given the state of Java packages in Fedora).

• If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

Unmaintained and retired packages, for which no bugs or new versions are tracked, will continue to leak into Fedora repositories.
