List of long term FTBFS packages to be retired in August

[Miro Hrončok]

Dear maintainers.

Based on the current fail to build from source policy, the following packages
should be retired from Fedora 45 approximately one week before branching,
i.e. 2026-08-05.

5 weekly reminders are required, this is the third one.

Policy: 
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_...

The packages in rawhide were not successfully built at least since Fedora 42.

This report is based on dist tags.

Packages collected via:
https://github.com/hroncok/fedora-report-ftbfs-retirements/blob/master/ftbfs...

If you see a package that was built, please let me know.
If you see a package that should be exempted from the process,
please let me know and we can work together to get a FESCo approval for that.

If you see a package that can be rebuilt, please do so.

Hey-ho,

I'm currently unemployed with way too much
free time on my hands, so here you go:

Since it would be sad to lose a classic, I merged the ularn patch and
fired off a build:

Looks like there are two PRs fixing this right now

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/hfsutils/pull-request/3 by suve

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/hfsutils/pull-request/4 by me (I
forgot to check if there are existing PRs submitted)

Mine has an additional fix on top to fix the pointer-type mismatches,
and also dropped the compiler flag overrides we no longer need after
the two clean-ups, but caveat lector they are LLM-assisted.

David, could you get either of them merged? If the retirement is
imminent (to add buffer, let's say July 31st, next Friday) I'll merge
and build as provenpackager.

Best regards,
