Hi all,
what happened to the python twisted framework in EPEL 4? For quite a while I receive broken dependency mails for the package pyicq-t but only for the EL4 branch, where I'm even not a maintainer of. Since I'm not using EL4 I'm not really up to date, but if I remember right the framework was available at least a year ago. Was it silently removed? If so, what should happen to packages which depend on it?
There isn't even a git branch for python-twisted-core for el4 so I'd be surprised if it ever existed there.
Your right but then I don't know why I received broken dependency mails for the last couple of weeks/months but not, lets say, a year ago. The package pyicq-t for EL4 has not changed since 2009 but I receive the broken dependency mails only since a couple of weeks/months and not since 2009. This is something which confuses me: If python-twisted-* never existed for EL4, then pyicq-t should have never made it into EL4 because of the dependency.
If someone actually does want to build python-twisted-* for el4, I have some packages here that may be a good base:
http://mirror.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/bittorrent/Twisted/RHEL-4/
I don't want to do it myself though.
Me neither ;-) I'm not interested in EL4 just concerned about the broken dependency mails I received so far.
