#5270 retire/block these packages
Closed: Invalid None Opened 11 years ago by paragn.

I had a through look in needsbuilt list for f18 and found that following packages owned by ausil are false packages on koji. They never built on koji since f9.

Either retire/block these packages.

These packages are all (or should all be) ExclusiveArch: sparc. They shouldn't be failing to build, unless you consider them being for non-primary arches only as failures.

Please do not block them.

closing this as invalid. they are secondary arch only packages. as sparc is behind primary ive not rebuilt them. As the person who does the mass rebuild im well aware of them and that they are not built.

And still you want to show them in your needsbuilt list.....................................

You should avoid them listing there else explicitly mention in your email that these packages will appear in list but no plans to remove them.

At one side we are publishing the list that these packages need attention else they will be removed from fedora and other side not willing to drop or avoid listing them.

Yes im still posting them because thats what the script does. the process to have them removed will take over a year. they will be built before then. its also up to the package maintainers to build their packages and be responsible for them. you certainly should not try to have someone elses packages removed without talking to them first. currently the neeeds-rebuilt script is not even checking the sparc koji so if they were rebuilt they would not show up.

I appreciate that you felt you were doing the right thing. first step would be to talk to the package maintainer, not request someone else's packages be removed.

ausil,
I will make sure to talk to package maintainer before requesting here. I actually see you are the owner for those packages and you are the mass rebuild result owner also. So, thought if they might have left in the package repo from long ago extras to Fedora merging as I failed to see any builds on koji.
