Update rpmfusion current maintained version#1546
Conversation
|
Our current policy is to remove repositories 2 years after their EoL date. Has 2 years passed for removed repos? Please provide EoL dates if possible. |
|
Also, before rpmfusion repos did not provide links to package sources, and this is a show stopper for adding new versions. I've added the links to https://github.com/rpmfusion/*, but not all of these are valid, for instance https://github.com/rpmfusion/lpf-mscore-tahoma-fonts/ lacks f40 branch, despite being present in rpmfusion f40 |
|
We've always provided source packages and repos in "distgit form" for packages. Github is the mirror that we advertise for public consumption, but the original git repos (also public) is where we contribute . Our script just doesn't sync branches if no new content is made. I just pushed a quick change to force the branch to be sync in this case. |
Sure, but Repology's requirement is that valid links should be constructible out of package metadata. For instance, there's no knowing there's no f40 branch for e.g.
Thanks! I guess you need to bump remaining packages, there's just a dozen of these (listing remaining broken links): el7 link may be ignored if we are really going to remove the repository. So, what about EoL dates? And another question, do I understand correctly that rpm fusion fedora rawhide correspond to master branches in package repositories? |

I think to have fixed all issue. Please confirm. The only remaining issue is likely gstreamer1-libav on el9, but this package is already retired in our git repo and will be removed from the package repository on the next push. (It will occur over the week-end).
centos 7 was EOL on 2024/06 https://endoflife.date/centos Same for Fedora https://endoflife.date/fedora. Also no updates are expected to be made, that's what's EOL means. So having theses releases displayed along supported ones is problematic IMHO.
Yes |
That's not a problem, I'll just remove the repositories as soon as the data is gone.
We keep EoLed repos for historical purposes and to to keep people still using these aware of how outdated, vulnerable and incompatible these are. Before recently, we were keeping these indefinitely, #1499 for more info. So let's drop removals from this PR and it's good to go. I'll add EoL dates then and clean up old repos on general EoL+2y || data is gone policy. |
Fixed, thanks.
About centos EOL, the RHEL 6 ELS only really applies to a very limited list of packages: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata So I don't think this applies for general distro, and it specially not apply to our rpmfusion content. But anyway, I will leave the older ones so they are discarded as your discretion. Fixup.... |

@kwizart there's also a lot of broken links from new repos https://gist.github.com/AMDmi3/9d400486086a7acdb01b096b653d5a07, can these be fixed asap? |

I've fixed xine-plugin and the new list. If anything remains please let me know. |
|
Thank you! Only 8 urls remain |

Fixed, the remaining master branches will be fixed on the next push (by the end of the week). theses components were not properly retired. |

Thank you so much! Everything is resolved now. |
