Candidate packages for removal due to FTBFS, implications
The following 30 packages, with respective FTBFS bugs, have been open
since the Fedora 11 time frame, and continue to fail to build. These
are the oldest non-building packages in the distribution, everything
else (over 8800) managed to build for Fedora 12 or newer already.
Of these, xqilla looks the most interesting, being used by the
growing-popular qpid work.
I'd like to propose the above list be dropped from the distribution,
prior to Fedora 13 Alpha freeze, unless the package is made to build
in rawhide before that.
Thanks,
Matt

Matt Domsch pÃ*Å¡e v Pá 15. 01. 2010 v 00:00 -0600:
Eek! I think geronimo-specs-compat is (transitively) needed by a bunch
of other Java packages including maven; on my computer, "yum remove
geronimo-specs" attempts to remove 45 packages (mostly maven-*). The
issue is that geronimo-specs-compat has a bunch of virtual provides
which don't show up in repoquery.
For reference, repoquery --whatrequires --recursive jms jacc jta ejb |
wc -l returns 112 on my computer (F12, x86_64).

OK, re-run, removing the three packages noted as fixed overnight.

This one is already a dead package, needs to be blocked I guess. Logged
a ticket for that.

Thanks, given I owned this once upon a time I was
also working on a fix (np), but it took me a bit longer
as I also rebased to the latest upstream while at it.
Note I've also fixed:
xpilot-ng
And I'm working on fixing:
widelands (also rebasing to latest upstream),
Regards,
Hans

Almost all of these are due to the dependency chain jms (virtual
provide) -> avalon-logkit -> velocity -> (all of maven). avalon-logkit
is basically a dead project, and velocity is the only package that
requires it; akurtakov and I are currently working on patching the
avalon-logkit requirement out of velocity (it's only optional anyway),
which should clean things up a bit.
