March 12 the packager of nc6 orphaned the packages they were responsible for: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/MS6LMFOZU2QY3TN42UT3YVT5BP2PCZQ2/ nc6 is a dependency of Hadoop, and was listed as such starting in the April 9th Orphaned Packages email, repeated multiple times between April 9th and now. >What's the state of Hadoop in Fedora these days?

[short version for those not familiar - uncooperative upstream (lots of old dependencies, old version of Java), too many packages involved, lack of buy in by the users of Hadoop as they didn't trust the Fedora packages, thus no willingness to commit continuing to fight to keep the packages working] -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
