#5876 Please untag and / or block mingw32-libpng-1.2.37-3.el6 from dist-6E-epel
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by kalev.

Hi,

mingw32-libpng-1.2.37-3.el6 got accidentally built for EPEL 6 a while ago. It's the only mingw package in EPEL 6 and isn't particularly useful on its own; it's also horribly outdated (1.2.37 vs latest 1.2.51) and has a number of known security vulnerabilities.

I am not sure what is the correct procedure to EOL a package from EPEL. Could you please either untag the build, or block it from dist-6E-epel?

Removing the package would fix the following broken deps report that the mingw mailing list gets at every EPEL 6 compose:

{{{

I have blocked the package, you should retire it in pkgdb
