libxslxwriter (misspelled package) in zombie state

[Richard W.M. Jones]

We were discussing this on IRC, so just to bring the topic up on the
mailing list ...

(1) Package libxslxwriter (note: "xslx") with only automated activity
and no builds:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libxslxwriter/commits/rawhide
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=32741

(2) Package libxlsxwriter (note: "xlsx") which is normal:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libxlsxwriter/commits/rawhide
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=32754

It seems like the first package is in some sort of zombie state?

Rich.

Yeah, the package owner (or a provenpackager) should just be able to
'fedpkg retire' it...

Well I took that as a hint and I ran the retire command.  I'm not sure
if it actually worked completely.  There was an error towards the end:

This seems like https://pagure.io/fedpkg/issue/505

The package is retired in dist-git:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libxslxwriter/commits/rawhide

The error is for monitoring only.

OK .. but is it retired?

The main page doesn't have the [Retired] block in the left column:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libxslxwriter

Compare to the package linked in the bug report above which has it:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/belle-sip

It is now. When you asked, it might have been only partially retired. Package 
retirement is an asynchronous chain of events.

1. It is retired in rawhide distgit bacuase it has the dead.package file ✔️

2. It is "active: false" in rawhide PDC ✔️
https://pdc.fedoraproject.org/rest_api/v1/component-branches/?name=rawhid...

3. It is blocked in f41 Koji ✔️
$ koji list-pkgs --show-blocked --tag f41 --quiet --package libxslxwriter
libxslxwriter           f41                                      smani 
  [BLOCKED]

4. It is not in the rawhide repository ✔️
This package never was, so :/

It should also be marked as "retired" / "unmaintained" in Pagure and

there should be no owner which is not the case. And this is not the only 
package in this state. I have reported it here:

As Miro noted in this ticket, "retired" and "orphaned" are different
things.
It is a valid state for a package to be "retired" in rawhide but not
"orphaned" (i.e. still maintained in stable branches).
Packages are only moved to the "orphan" user automatically when they
are no longer present in any currently active branches of Fedora or
EPEL.
