Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 18:49:28 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further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 please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2019-04-22 13:30:37 UTC
The package fails to install now:

$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 install yum-axelget
...
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides yum-plugin-fastestmirror needed by yum-axelget-1.0.5.1-10.20140522gitad6fb3e.fc30.noarch


Please fix this or retire the package.

Thanks

Comment 4 Andrea Veri 2019-05-03 23:05:28 UTC
The plugin seems not to be compatible with dnf (no time/interest from my side to port it to dnf myself) and also has a dead upstream [1], I've marked it as retired, thanks!

Comment 5 Andrea Veri 2019-05-03 23:08:00 UTC
The package remains available on EL7 as it's fully functional there, only Fedora related branches were retired.

Comment 6 Miro Hrončok 2019-05-04 15:26:32 UTC
It is not possible to retire form already released Fedora versions. The latest package version will remain there forever.
