[EPEL-announce] Retirement of four Rust library packages from the ICU4X stack

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The following packages correspond to Rust crates that were refactored away from the ICU4X[1] stack upstream between version 1.5 and version 2.0. See [2] and [3] for details. These packages have now been retired in the EPEL10 leading branch (10.1, not 10.0) and in EPEL9.

- rust-icu_locid

- rust-icu_locid_transform

- rust-icu_locid_transform_data

- rust-icu_provider_macros

When we planned updates from ICU4X 1.5 to 2.0, we decided that letting these few packages fail to install in Fedora 41/42 and retiring them in EPEL9/10 would be less bad than branching 10-20 compat packages just to keep them installable. More details are available in the epel-devel list email[4] about these retirements.

Since nothing outside the ICU4X stack ever depended on these four packages (making them leaf packages after the ICU4X 2.0 update), and since Rust library packages are in general only useful for building other packages rather than for end users, even developers, the retirement of these packages should have no effect on anyone in practice.
