Created attachment 1637157 [details] Orphaned packages looking for new maintainers report batik and pdfbox are orphaned, fop depends on them and publican depends on fop. Since appstream BuildRequires publican and publican seems rather dead both downstream and upstream, I wonder whether appstream can drop the build dependency on publican. It generates quite a large amount of noise in the Orphaned packages looking for new maintainers report (attached), mostly trough extra-cmake-modules. Thanks for considering.
The date of batik and pdfbox retirement is near. They were orphaned on 2019-11-04 and will be retired after 2019-12-16 if nobody adopts them, that is little over 2 weeks from now.
I'll look into it today
JFYI batik and pdfbox are no longer orphaned, but fop appears to be broken anyway. Might be worth doing this anyway.
