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 fourth 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.

Hi.
> slim                                      aarem

This one has "BuildRequires:  f%{?fedora}-backgrounds-base" in the spec.
f45-backgrounds was delayed and not available during the Mass Rebuild,
so slim failed to build. This can be resubmitted to koji without any changes.

I think releng should fix their broken scripts, slim has sucessfully built for every release, abeit late.

At least it will be updated in the base repo this time

$ koji list-tagged f45 |grep slim-1

The scripts aren't broken. As noted in the announcement:

And indeed, the current version of "slim" in rawhide was, until
today's build, slim-1.4.0-10.fc42.
So it looks like the "fixed" builds were just pushed to stable
branches, but not rawhide.
