Description David Lehman 2020-08-24 16:48:01 UTC
Please add text to the release notes indicating that the peripety package is deprecated as of 8.3.0.

Comment 1 Marek Suchánek 2020-08-25 17:04:48 UTC
Hi David,
I've written a short and basic release note to announce the deprecation. I've used the upstream repo to learn about peripety.

I have two questions:

* Do we want to state our reason for the deprecation or point to a recommended alternative to peripety?

* Just to make sure, is peripety deprecated or removed in RHEL 8.3?

We are going a different direction with new development efforts, but there isn't anything specific to announce or recommend as a replacement at this time.

It is deprecated in RHEL-8.3. The plan is to not include it in RHEL-9.

Alright. In that case, I think I can leave the release note as is. Thanks!

Since the issue described in this bug should be resolved (VERIFIED), it has been closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE.

If the fix for this is not released yet, check if this will ever get fixed. In case of a negative answer (ex: for  zstream releases that won't be updated anymore) then please change it as WONTFIX.

If there's anything else to be done on this BZ, if it's still active, please reopen this bug with comment.

Please note: for those bugs which are not included in errata, please add keyword 'TestOnly'.
TestOnly: Use this when there is no code delivery involved, or for use when code is already upstream and will be incorporated automatically to the next release for testing purposes only.

Thank you.
