The right URL of the Fedora change: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AspellDeprecation This change was approved, I'm working on deprecating the package Aspell has been deprecated: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/aspell/c/0b1c5ec116b9e47528d0cc9460842d55b21d50ce?branch=rawhide Next, I'll generate BZs for each package that depends on the aspell package to consider removing this dependency. I'll also deprecate the aspell dictionaries (aspell-* packages). For those for whom I'm not a default maintainer, I'll contact the maintainers to do it by themselves. All of the dictionaries were notified to deprecate their packages. I'll wait for 7 days, if there is no response from the maintainer, I'll deprecate them as they should follow the deprecation from aspell package. I think one thing you could consider doing to speed up or clarify the deprecation deps is to separate out the compression tools in aspell into a subpackage (say aspell-tools). Then hunspell dictionaries etc that only need those tools could BR aspell-tools, and that might allow you to remove the libaspell from Fedora sooner perhaps? Anyway an idea to structure the deprecation/retirement steps a little. How do you think? (just to add you can still have aspell require aspell-tools, so it wouldn't be a breaking change) And/or aspell-libs perhaps - I guess it depends which part takes longer to be unneeded. I don't plan to create new subpackages in the deprecated package. All dictionaries has been deprecated This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 39 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 39 on 2024-11-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '39'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 39 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. Fedora Linux 39 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-11-26. Fedora Linux 39 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see the version field. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an active release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
