Now that we have (or will have shortly) fully CryptX-based versions of perl-Net-SSH-Perl in F-36, F-37 and all EPELs, it looks to me that there are no remaining dependents of perl-Crypt-RSA in Fedora (other than the Suggests: for it in perl-Net-SSH-Perl, but I can get rid of that in due course).
I'm seriously considering retiring the following group of packages, which are only currently used by perl-Crypt-RSA as far as I can tell: perl-Crypt-RSA perl-Crypt-Primes perl-Crypt-Random perl-Math-Pari libpari23 The last release of Crypt-RSA was in 2009. Dana Jacobsen created an alternative implementation (https://metacpan.org/dist/Alt-Crypt-RSA-BigInt) that avoided the need for Math::Pari, which would be a big win itself, but that doesn't look to have gained any traction. I introduced all of these packages (except libpari23) to Fedora back in 2005 when I needed them as dependencies of perl-Net-SSH-Perl. The libpari package followed in 2012 because perl-Math-Pari doesn't tend to keep up with contemporary pari releases, and is quite painful to package anyway. The perl-Net-SSH-Perl package no longer needs the other ones, and neither do I. Does anyone see any issues with retiring these packages in Fedora?
