#12212 Some of my packages on the F41 "need rebuild" list were retired for Rawhide in March 2024
Opened 10 months ago by music. Modified 10 months ago

  • Describe the issue

Three of the packages under music in https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mass-rebuild/f41-need-rebuild.html were retired for Rawhide in March 2024.

  • libmetalink and parsertl14 are retired in F41, active in F40/F39/EPEL9
  • rust-libcramjam0.2 has always been an F39-only compat package; it was retired in F41 as soon as it was requested, and was never built there

(The other packages on the list under music, python-pybv and python-starlette are also on https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mass-rebuild/f41-failures.html, which I assume is normal.)

This does not appear to be an example of https://pagure.io/releng/issue/12192 because the packages in question were retired in March 2024.

After a quick triage in the “Fedora Release Engineering” Matrix channel, @kevin asked me to file an issue here.

  • When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

This doesn’t seem to affect me personally, but it would seem wise to investigate this before the F41 Final Freeze.

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

Useful indefinitely.

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

If this issue reflects a defect in package retirement or in the enumeration of packages that need rebuilding, and if it is not investigated, then that defect may continue to affect other packages in F41 and in future releases.

10 months ago

Piggybacking on this, https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python39-zstd-epel was retired last year from Rawhide and somehow is still tagged into F41 and thus shows up in the 'needs rebuild' report

Ok I looked at the examples you mentioned (libmetalink); These weren't properly retired because I can see these are not blocked in koji properly :(

I think the the reason for this is https://pagure.io/releng/issue/12192#comment-920461 or maybe not :/

The retirement didn't go through somehow, similarly, parsertl14 wasn't retired from koji as well :D
