Name of the package? lzma
Maintainer's FAS username? sagitter
Any extra information? Although LZMA Utils are no longer developed and replaced by XZ, they're still required by other packages on Fedora. lzma package is still correctly compiled on fedora 28+, it can endure for a little while yet as long as all dependent software migrate to XZ.
Hold on here, xz-utils provides liblzma and a compatible interface to the old lzma-utils, so applications that depend on it should be able to transition to XZ.
liblzma
@sagitter Does this work for you?
My packages depend by other packages which use lzma, like scotch (mantainers @deji @smani)
@sagitter As in the lzma CLI tool? xz can emulate that interface. It might be better to talk to the xz maintainer to add the compat interfaces so that this package can stay dropped.
lzma
xz
Currently, the lzma package only provides the libraries, which xz-devel provides a compat interface for already.
xz-devel
What's the status? I'm delaying retirement of lzma because of this ticket.
lzma was once again announced to be retired. what's the status?
@orion fixed scotch in 08782a20772b3a6c9790494833f038716aa5f041. @kwizart removed the dep from afflib in 84b8dd169434b69e5900aec3a61780c1fa5504d8. @rdieter removed the dep from kio-extras in 537ea9e330754bc97755268eb43d04918ce9dbf7.
So it's all green. The package can be retired.
This was done.
