Orphaning pcb.
by Kiara Navarro
Hi all,
I am orphaning pcb (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pcb) since I am not
able to longer maintain. I have spoken with Alain (fas: avigne) and he is
willing to take this package. Thanks a lot Alain.
Best regards.

Bringing this back to devel as I don't understand why this discussion should be held in private.
AFAIK unless you are volunteering to fix and rebuild all the affected packages, it is not going away on its own. I don't think that playing the blame game will move us anywhere. It has been there for some time so it got some considerate adoption.
I don't understand why are you not following process for system wide changes for such disruptive change. It seems to me that you are not realizing possible impacts of your changes and are actively downplaying testing(IMO integral part of the development) before pushing it in to the production(rawhide). I perceive this kind of practices as extremely dangerous for sustainability of Fedora packaging. Could we please revert the change(Igor?) and stop pushing it until it is formalized(including docs, so it is outright obvious what is intended as supported) as System Wide Change proposal and approved by FESCO(for F30)?

Intent to orphan / give to go-sig some unused leaf golang packages
by Fabio Valentini
Hi everybody,
I'm cleaning up my packages a bit, and I currently maintain some leaf
packages which aren't used by anything (or anything I use) at this
point in time.
The packages all have the go-sig as co-admin already, but I intend to
drop them from my radar completely. You know, cognitive burden and
stuff.
- golang-github-AudriusButkevicius-kcp-go
- golang-github-AudriusButkevicius-pfilter
- golang-github-calmh-luhn
- golang-github-ccding-go-stun
- golang-github-cznic-b
- golang-github-cznic-fileutil
- golang-github-cznic-golex
- golang-github-cznic-internal
- golang-github-cznic-lex
- golang-github-cznic-lexer
- golang-github-cznic-lldb
- golang-github-cznic-mathutil
- golang-github-cznic-ql
- golang-github-cznic-sortutil
- golang-github-cznic-strutil
- golang-github-cznic-zappy
- golang-github-edsrzf-mmap-go
- golang-github-klauspost-reedsolomon
- golang-github-remyoudompheng-bigfft
- golang-github-templexxx-cpufeat
- golang-github-templexxx-reedsolomon
- golang-github-templexxx-xor
- golang-github-tjfoc-gmsm
- golang-github-xtaci-kcp-go
- golang-github-xtaci-smux
- golang-github-zillode-notify
The length of this list of now unused leaf packages tells its own
story about the go ecosystem.
As far as I can tell, nothing in fedora depends on this set of
packages anymore, except some inter-dependencies between the packages
themselves.
All the packages are up-to-date with either the latest stable release
(where available) or the current git master branch, and all the
packages use the new golang packaging macros ("spec 3.0"). Tests are
run where available and pass (except where they don't).
If somebody wants to take over a package personally instead of it
being inherited by the go-sig group, I will give them the package
instead. I'll give up the remaining packages on Mon, 22 Oct. 2018.
