Description Andrea Musuruane 2017-09-16 14:50:31 CEST

Hi,
e-uae is dead upstream. Last release was in 2007. Moreover now fs-uae is in RPM Fusion therefore we finally have another Amiga emulator.

I ran "rfpkg retire" and orphaned the package in pkgdb, as written here:
https://rpmfusion.org/Contributors

Can you please complete this process and properly retire e-uae in koji?

Thanks!

Andrea

package failed to build on f27+, so it's already blocked.
Retired in pkgdb
Given that it only remains on GA release repository, there is nothing much to do (it will remains available in stables releases).

Please consider to properly Obsoletes/provides e-uae (with a version)

fs-uae is not a drop in replacement for e-uae. So I don't think obsoletes/provides is appropriate.

It should be better to remove e-uae from the end user machine. So Obsoletes: should be added to RPM Fusion's fedora-obsolete-packages. But it seems there isn't one:

You could make it, but it's also should be possible to have it added to the fedora one. (one should ask).

Frankly, I doubt Fedora wants to have something to do with third party repositories. Moreover a package could live in more than one third party repository - therefore obsoleting one in RPM Fusion will obsolete all.

I can go with the first option. But I need a bit of time - I need to do other things now.
