#3684 Please retire paperbox from F-13 + to avoid a real mess
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by hicham.

Paperbox requires legacy tracker-0.6.x, but new tracker-0.8.x isn't really parallel installable with the legacy one. There are two major issues :
- They have common files.
- Even if legacy tracker is patched to be parallel installable with the current one, the database will get wiped out each time an indexer ( legacy or current ) is started.

The packager has expressly said he will retire it from F-13+. Here is the proof :
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572233#c52
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586660#c11

Please act quickly as F-13 is entering hard freeze soon.


paperbox is now blocked for dist-f13 (and on) per step 6 on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/PackageEndOfLife

confirmed paperbox is not in comps (step 4)

please ensure the other steps are followed as well.
