Description Miro Hrončok 2019-02-03 12:19:46 UTC 
In line with the Mass Python 2 Package Removal [0], the following (sub)packages of python-meliae were marked for removal:

 * python2-meliae

According to our query, those (sub)packages only provide a Python 2 importable module. If this is not true, please tell us why, so we can fix our query.

Please remove them from your package.

As said in the change document, if there is no objection in a week, we will remove the package(s) as soon as we get to it. This change might not match your packaging style, so we'd prefer if you did the change. If you need more time, please let us know here.

If you do the change yourself, it would help us a lot by reducing the amount of packages we need to mass change.

We hope this doesn't come to you as a surprise. If you want to know our motivation for this, please read the change document [0].

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2019-02-03 12:20:44 UTC 
There is also /usr/bin/strip_duplicates.py but I doubt it is useful outside of this package.
Comment 2 Tadej Janež 2019-02-05 09:46:07 UTC 
It turns out Meliae has been unmaintained for a very long time.

The last release was in 2011:
https://launchpad.net/meliae/+download

Its main branch only received 1 commit in 2012 and 2 commits in 2013:
https://code.launchpad.net/~meliae-dev/meliae/trunk

Miro, can I just use "fedpkg retire" to retire the whole package?
Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2019-02-05 10:07:51 UTC 
yes, please
Comment 4 Tadej Janež 2019-02-05 10:56:11 UTC
