Description Kamil Páral 2022-05-17 10:09:43 UTC

Description of problem:
The pkgwat [1] package has been retired [2], because the upstream is dead and no further development is planned. Even though pkgwat's dependencies are minimal, I think it makes sense to obsolete it with fedora-obsolete-packages, because it's broken anyway [3] and so there's little point leaving it on user's filesystem and risking a potential dependency conflict some time in the future.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python3-pkgwat.noarch                                         0.13-11.fc36
python3-pkgwat-api.noarch                                     0.13-11.fc36

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2022-05-31 15:16:50 UTC

python3-pkgwat-api is still available in the repos, should this be python3-pkgwat only?

Comment 2 Kamil Páral 2022-06-02 13:07:41 UTC

Sigh, thank you for spotting this. I missed that those are two separate source packages. I obsoleted python-pkgwat-api right now as well [1]. The obsolete should cover both packages.

Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2022-06-02 14:12:17 UTC

As they both require python(abi) = 3.10, they will be obsoleted with all the other removed Python packages when we do https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python3.11 -- if this is not urgent, it can be closed.

Comment 4 Kamil Páral 2022-06-02 14:36:05 UTC

Sure, sounds good to me. Thanks.
