Dear maintainers.

Based on the current fail to build from source policy, the following packages
should be retired from Fedora 40 approximately one week before branching.

5 weekly reminders are required, hence the retirement will happen
approximately in 5 weeks, i.e. around 2024-02-28.
Since this is unfortunately after the branching,
packages will be retired on rawhide and f40.

I apologize for starting this process a bit later than required again.
Unfortunately, I had other work obligations.
Volunteers to take over this are always welcome.

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

The packages in rawhide were not successfully built at least since Fedora 37.

This report is based on dist tags.

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

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.

     freefem++ (maintained by: cicku, corsepiu)
         freefem++-openmpi-4.14-3.fc40.x86_64 requires libmpi.so.40()(64bit)(openmpi-x86_64)

WTH is this? Your script seems broken.

This is a 2-level deep dependency on a package that fails to build.

Thanks for your feedback. Occasionally, "my" script is broken, but what you reported is not actually incorrect. See further.

Neither is cicku a maintainer of freefem++

They are listed as such at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/freefem++

nor did it fail to build.

It did not. It depends on openmpi which depends on infinipath-psm which fails to build.

Actually this package had been built several times in recent months/weeks. Koji lists it as having been rebuilt today!

Correct.

And while we are at it: Why is cicku still listed as a maintainer?

I don't know.

He was removed from Fedora by force due to a FESCO decision many years ago. I don't recall the details, but this can easily be 10 years ago.

Then, perhaps the removal was not complete.
