Description Troy Dawson 2019-10-11 20:32:20 UTC

Current gerbv for EPEL7 (gerbv-2.7.0-2.el7) requires
  electronics-menu
This package is no longer found in RHEL7 or EPEL7

Please fix this package so that it can be installed in RHEL 7.7.
If you have not responded in a week, we will have a proven packager fix it.
If you know you will not be able to get to it and would like it fixed sooner, please let us know in this bug.
If you feel this package should no longer be in EPEL7, please let us know in this bug.

Comment 1 Troy Dawson 2019-10-23 14:36:12 UTC

electronics-menu was taken out of EPEL7 back in 2016.
The reason was "Retired orphaned package, because it was orphaned for more than six weeks."

How critical is electronics-menu to gerbv?
Could we change the
  Requires: electronics-menu
to
  Recommends: electronics-menu

That would allow the epel7 and Fedora git repo's to be the same, but not have electronics-menu.

Or

You could take over maintainership for electonics-menu in epel7

Or

We could remove gerbv from EPEL 7.  (Because it can't install anyway)

Comment 2 Troy Dawson 2019-11-08 21:09:35 UTC

Since we have not heard back within a week, our proven packager will fix this.
He will take the simplest fix, which is to change Requires to Recommends.
