Description of problem: The package python36-certifi disappeared from EPEL7 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: simple Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install -y epel-release (on a centos7) 2. yum install python36-certifi 3. --> Error Actual results: No package python36-certifi available. Expected results: ``` Installed Packages Name : python36-certifi Arch : noarch Version : 2018.10.15 Release : 5.el7 Size : 9.6 k Repo : installed From repo : epel ``` Additional info: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-certifi EPEL7 has no stable version
Seems like python-certifi was untagged from epel7 completely. No idea why.
The package is blocked in Koji: $ koji list-pkgs --show-blocked --tag epel7 --quiet --package python-certifi python-certifi epel7 churchyard [BLOCKED] But not retired in dist-git: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-certifi/commits/epel7 PDC says "active": false -- https://pdc.fedoraproject.org/rest_api/v1/component-branches/?name=epel7&global_component=python-certifi "slas": [ { "id": 690861, "sla": "stable_api", "eol": "2022-03-14" }, { "id": 690862, "sla": "security_fixes", "eol": "2022-03-14" }, { "id": 690863, "sla": "bug_fixes", "eol": "2022-03-14" } ], So apparently, something/somebody decided it is a good idea to stop supporting python-certifi in epel7 on 2022-03-14. I guess when the package was imported to epel7, this was supposed to be the end date of epel7? This might actually impact more packages.
> I guess when the package was imported to epel7... Imported to PDC actually.
I've curl+grep checked epel7 in PDC and found 1 other package that has EOL in 2022, but that one was actually retired in dist git. So this appears to be specific for python-certifi. I've opened https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10706 to get this sorted out, but I wish we didn't have to deal with PDC :(

The package was unretired by releng. Waiting for the next EPEL7 compose.
