If you are a Fedora packager, you might be interested to know that in Taskotron <http://taskotron.fedoraproject.org> we replaced the depcheck <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Taskotron/Tasks/dist.depcheck> task with rpmdeplint <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Taskotron/Tasks/dist.rpmdeplint> task. So if there are any dependency issues with the new update you submit to Bodhi <https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/>, you’ll see that as *dist.rpmdeplint* failure (in the *Automated Tests* tab). The failure logs should look very similar to the depcheck ones (basically, the logs contain the errors dnf would spit out if it tried to install that package), so there should be no transitioning effort needed.
If you listen for depcheck results somehow, i.e. in FMN <https://apps.fedoraproject.org/notifications/>, make sure to update your rules to listen for *dist.rpmdeplint* instead. We have updated the default filters in FMN, so if you haven’t changed them, you should receive notifications for failures in rpmdeplint (and also upgradepath and abicheck) for submitted updates owned by you. The reason for this switch is that we wanted to get rid of custom dependency checking (done directly on top of libsolv), and use an existing tool for that instead. That saves us time, we don’t need to study all the pitfalls of dependency resolution, and we benefit from someone else maintaining and developing the tool (that doesn’t mean we won’t send patches if needed). rpmdeplint <https://pagure.io/rpmdeplint> offered exactly what we were looking for. We will decommission depcheck task from Taskotron execution in the next few days, if there are no issues. Rpmdeplint results are already being published for all proposed updates.
