We retired watchman, a file alteration monitoring service, at the beginning of 
last week:
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/watchman/watchman/

This depends on the Folly stack to build, but the last Python-only
version was cut back in 2021, after which the codebase was progressively
rewritten in Rust to the point that it would require the spec to be
rewritten from scratch.

It has been FTBFS for months - it simply would not build against recent
versions of Folly (and if you know Folly, you know that it does not have
clear API/ABI versioning so we can't just quite maintain a compatibility
version) - as a result of which it has been FTI since Fedora 41.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2300079

We decided it's better to cut our losses, since we can't really commit
to getting a fixed version in time for Fedora 42 anyway. If anyone want
to try packaging this in the meantime do reach out.

Best regards,
