 Following the !PackageMaintainers/PackageEndOfLife instructions, I'm
 creating this ticket to ask for having "synergy" blocked from devel/F-13
 as it is now being retired.

There is still the 'quicksynergy' package that depends on it. Has that
 maintainer been notified?

Replying to [comment:1 notting]:

maintainer been notified?
 He's most definitely aware of this, and since the synergy-plus packages
 will also provide "synergy = %{version}-%{release}" (the fork picked up
 the versioning where the original died off), everything should be
 transparent.

The relevant entry for quicksynergy :
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524910

The one about synergy-plus :
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538179

Also, am I correct to assume that for "current" branches (EPEL, F-10, F-11
 and F-12) the right thing to do will be to introduce the obsoleting
 synergy-plus package as an update and nothing more?

Comment:

OK then, blocked. Thanks for the info.

Yes, the simplest method for older branches is to just introduce an
 obsoleting package.
