| When Fedora maintainers do not want or are not able to maintain a package any
| |
| longer, they can orphan or [[How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life|retire]] the
| |
| package. When they think that the package is still useful for Fedora, they
| |
| should orphan it. Then other maintainers that are interested in maintaining it,
| |
| can take ownership of this package. In case the package is no longer useful for
| |
| Fedora, e.g. because it was renamed, upstream does not exist anymore, then it
| |
| should be retired. But this is only possible for development releases such as Branched or Rawhide.
| |
|
| |
| Orphaned packages remain in stable releases and are the responsibility of the collective packaging community to maintain.

| {{admon/warning|When to orphan and retire your packages|We encourage maintainers considering orphaning their packages to do it as early in the development cycle as possible. Shortly after the prior release is branched is a good time.}}

| == Procedimiento de Huérfano ==
| |
|
| |
| # Visit your package's Pagure repository, and navigate to the settings for that repo. The URL will look something like this -- https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/PACKAGE_NAME/settings
| |
| # Navigate down to the ''Give Project'' section and "give" the project to the "orphan" user.
| |
| # For completeness, under the ''Users and Groups'' section, remove yourself from the list as well.
| |
| # Also reset your watch status if you do not want to be CC'ed on new package bugs
| |
| # Announce on [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel devel] which package you orphaned, so that others have a chance to take over as maintainer.
| |
|
| |
| == Reclamando la propiedad de un Paquete Huérfano ==
| |
|
| |
| # Check why the package was orphaned by looking for the email to [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel devel].
| |
| # [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/WhatHappenedToPkgdb#How_do_I_adopt_an_orphaned_package_or_unretire_a_package.3F_.28TODO.29 PkgDB was recently deprecated]. For now, you will need to [https://pagure.io/releng/issues submit a ticket to the Release Engineering team], stating which package you want to claim.
| |
| # Also announce on [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel devel] which packages you want to take over.
| |
| # When all the above is complete and Release Engineering has made you the new package owner, reassign and claim all open bug reports for the package in Bugzilla.

| |
| {{admon/warning|Un-Retiring long-time retired packages|Packages that are retired for Rawhide for more than two weeks need to be reviewed again before they can be un-retired. This is also true for EPEL-only packages.}}
| |
|
| |
| If you really want to maintain a retired package, you need to be aware that
| |
| if upstream is dead, fixing release critical bugs, etc becomes your
| |
| responsibility. This is to ensure the high quality and standards of packaging
| |
| remain for Fedora package collection. There may be additional issues with
| |
| retired packages. If possible, consult with the former maintainer for more information.
| |
| The process is a bit different from unorphaning a package
| |
|
| |
| # See if you can figure out why the package was retired including searching for information about orphaned packages on [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel devel mailing list] or emailing the former maintainer. You can also check dead.package in the SCM (url like: [https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/system-config-network/blob/master/f/dead.package https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/'''package_name_here'''/blob/master/f/dead.package])
| |
| # Announce on [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel devel] which packages you would like to become the owner of.
| |
| # Retired Fedora packages (master/devel/rawhide branch retired) require a re-review if they are retired for more than two weeks or if there is no previous review of the package. Submit a review request (a new bugzilla ticket) and have the package approved by a reviewer as if it were new to Fedora. See [[Package Review Process|the package review process]] for more information. To unretire a EPEL branch if the package is still in Fedora, no re-review is required.
| |
| # Request unretirement by filing a [https://pagure.io/releng/issues releng ticket]. Specify all branches that need to be un-retired (inlcuding "master" for Rawhide, unless it is for EPEL only) and include the link to re-review. In this ticket, request that the [[ReleaseEngineering|Release Engineering team]] unblock the package for the releases that the package should be un-retired for. In this request, clearly specify which branches should be unblocked.
| |
| # Restore the contents in GIT and prepare a new build and update (if necessary).
