Please fix grib_api at your earliest convenience and set the bug's status to
ASSIGNED when you start fixing it. If the bug remains in NEW state for 8 weeks,
grib_api will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 43,
grib_api will be retired, if it still fails to build.

Comment 4 Jos de Kloe 2025-01-24 08:16:23 UTC
I think this package should be retired.

grib_api has now been unmaintained upstream for over 6 years. It is replaced by eccodes for those architectures that supports it.
Upstream writes on https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/ECC/ecCodes+Home:

ecCodes is now the primary GRIB encoding/decoding package used at ECMWF. GRIB-API is no longer maintained (as of December 2018). Replacing GRIB-API with ecCodes is expected to be transparent for current GRIB-API users. In particular the "grib_" functions are included in the ecCodes library. Users are strongly advised to start the migration process.

See also: https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/ECC/GRIB-API+migration

Unfortunately eccodes does not support the i686, ppc64, and armv7hl architectures. If users would need this I recommend them to file a request at ECMWF to implement this for eccodes.

Comment 5 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2025-01-24 13:54:03 UTC
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 6 Orion Poplawski 2025-02-15 22:49:01 UTC
I agree.  The only dep that I found was gdl, and I doubt anyone will miss grib support on s390x.  I'll retire after I've built the gdl version that drops grib support on s390x.

Comment 7 Orion Poplawski 2025-02-17 01:14:19 UTC
Retired
