Description Vít Ondruch 2022-08-10 08:38:30 UTC
Description of problem:
The rubygem-memcache-client is leaf package and it is not required by anything in Fedora:

~~~
$ sudo dnf repoquery -q --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rawhide --whatrequires "rubygem(memcache-client)" --whatrequires "rubygem-memcache-client"

$ sudo dnf repoquery -q --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rawhide-source --arch src --whatrequires "rubygem(memcache-client)" --whatrequires "rubygem-memcache-client"
rubygem-rack-1:2.2.3-8.fc37.src
~~~

Where the last occurrence was removed by [1] and it waits just for successful compose.

Because of that and mainly because memcache-client is deprecated upstream for ~12 years [2] and upstream suggest to use Dalli instead [3], I propose to orphan/retire this package from Fedora.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rubygem-memcache-client-1.8.5-25.fc37

Expected results:


Additional info:
I don't think there is official policy to retire such packages from Fedora, but I have started discussion on devel list [4] and I think that it would be reasonable to wait ~4 weeks for a feedback prior I'll take further action.

This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2023-01-12 12:37:16 UTC
Automation has figured out the package is retired in rawhide.

If you like it to be unretired, please open a ticket at https://pagure.io/releng/new_issue?template=package_unretirement
