We have done this with the "python" component. We actually automatically do this now on package retirement. However, we haven't (yet) gone back and set all the old retired packages this way. https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8707 tracks that work. kevin signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

Components can be marked inactive in Bugzilla, which I believe will prevent users from filing new bugs without losing any historical data. Perhaps this should be part of the retirement process? -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
Re: Automatic close of bugs for retired packages?
I think we could just tell the user that a component is retired by changing the component name to name(retired) or maybe some other means . The gist is to tell the user that the component is retired and is probably not the one that is causing the bug and maybe point to other components which might be causing the issue . Removing the component may be another way to go about it .Maybe retire it at first and remove it after some time just in case someone wants to revive the package .
