You're confusing things.

Both packages were built back in 2019 and not updated since. See their
"Buildroot" tag.

What you are referring to are *other* buildroots that USE the package(s) as
dependencies. For instance, the last build that used rest was two days ago - a
libreoffice build.


I don't know where you'd see the expired tag (which would, as far as I remember,
indicate that the package was updated and that the build you're looking at is
obsolete or that the package was completely removed from the distribution), but
it certainly shouldn't be expired.

The rest package is part of AppStream.

Curiously, rest-devel is not there. And that does sound like a bug.

Thanks for bringing that up. Hopefully someone else can help you out and take a
look at that.
