  • Fedora Linux is retiring all Deepin desktop packages due to ongoing security concerns and lack of maintenance activity.
  • The decision follows a year-long security review request initiated after security revelations by SUSE/openSUSE.
  • Fedora developers faced difficulties contacting Deepin package maintainers, compounded by a lack of clear policy on expectations.
  • The Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) approved the retirement, requiring any future re-introduction to pass a new review.
