  • Describe the issue
    libqb-epel and kronosnet-epel are listed in the f38 mass rebuild failures: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mass-rebuild/f38-need-rebuild.html
    Both of these are EPEL-only packages, and I had retired the rawhide branch back then, but it looks like something went wrong -- it has a dead.package but I don't see it grayed out on src.fp.o.

  • When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)
    not urgent

  • When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)
    n/a

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?
    These will keep annoying us when the next mass rebuild happens

Looking for "-epel" packages in the list, there's quite a few more that are likely affected by the same (or a similar) issue.

I checked and blocked all -epel packages from the list in fedora branches. Thanks for catching this.

I look at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python39-jinja2-epel/commits/rawhide and the package is surely not retired in dist-git.

Please don't block packages not retired in dist-git, it's confusing -- retire them "normally" instead.

Thanks.

I assumed you blocked all -epel packages from the list and python39-jinja2-epel is one of them, but maybe that assumption was wrong and this package was not retired and not blocked, sorry for the confusion.

Just noticed lmdb-epel has the same issue, cc @tdawson

So, I did a 'fedpkg retire' on the rawhide branch of all my -epel packages a while ago. It's one of the first things I do when I create them. All of them have a dead.package file. Most of them also have rawhide inactive, but I have the following that still have an active rawhide.

pycairo-epel
inih-epel
LibRaw-epel

I've looked, and as a normal package maintainer, I don't see anything I can do to make the rawhide branch inactive.

Weird, probably a glitch in the infra during the retirement process, those 3 packages have now correct entries in PDC for rawhide.
