Description of problem: MongoDB was retired from Fedora due to the license issues some time ago (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1677379). This should be done in EPEL7 as well, since shipping pretty old version there is not safe, nor useful. Most of the CVE fixes are released with a license that does not allow to apply them upstream, so the mongodb package is de-facto unmaintained.
I am not against this. I just want to remind people that this is a major thing and we need to announce it both on epel-devel and epel-announce early, and possibly often. Just so it doesn't come as a surprise to people.
Any update here?
The epel-announce and epel-devel has been notified. Let's give it some time now, before making the change.
The mongodb package has been dropped from epel7. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mongodb/c/08cadb70bef7d85c3d45bff92f9261a1818df8fc?branch=epel7
