Hi, while cleaning up retired packages (which I did not yet finish), I came up with an idea to simplify the retirement procedure to avoid inconsistencies. With the help of fedmsg I would like to make it enough wrt to koji and pkgdb to add a dead.package file to dist git to retire a package. When this happens, an automated process will retire the package in pkgdb and block the package in koji. This will make it impossible to only dead.package or only retire a package in pkgdb.
To avoid problems with lost messages from fedmsg, a regular cleanup job can download a git checkout and check for any missed dead.package files. What are your opinions about this? I already checked with Dennis Gilmore, he is ok with this. My plan is to first setup a service that triggers the retirement in pkgdb and when this seems to work ask Infrastructure do disable retiring packages for regular users in pkgdb.
