[EPEL-devel] Re: EPEL-8 Packages needing care and feeding
OK with some help from Miro on the python team, I was able to use the
scripts they use regularly to list what dependency problems they have with
soon to be orphaned packages. I have included the entire report as an
attachment as its big, but the following seem to be packages I could retire
now without breaking current packages:
python-cryptography-vectors cheimes, jcline, noodles, npmccallum 229 weeks
ago
python-hamcrest ignatenkobrain 238 weeks ago
python-hupper infra-sig, kevin 238 weeks ago
python-nose2 abompard 238 weeks ago
python-openid-cla puiterwijk 238 weeks ago
python-openid-teams puiterwijk 238 weeks ago
python-pytest-benchmark jorti 234 weeks ago
python-pytest-forked swt2c 236 weeks ago
python-pytest-xdist swt2c 238 weeks ago
python-sphinx-theme-py3doc-enhanced jujens 238 weeks ago
python-venusian infra-sig, lmacken, ralph, rossdylan, tdabasin 229 weeks ago
They don't seem to cause dependencies of other things in EPEL.

I clearly dropped the ball in that sentence. Let me finish it up:
I expect that we will need to converse in this thread about what should be
done next. In the EPEL meeting Kevin mentioned that I should email the
maintainers of each of the 108 packages and see if they want to maintain it
or remove it from EPEL-8. Then see if we can remove those from the tree
cleanly without affecting packages. Some packages like python-nose should
be removed anyway and if there are any other upstream dead ones those can
go too.
