orphaning ooolatex + maintainership of my other packages up for grabs

2014-04-25 Thread Alex Lancaster
ooolatex needs to be replaced by TeXMaths anyway, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1018515 In general, going forward at least for the immediate future, I will have to ramp down some of my Fedora efforts. In the meantime feel free to update any of my packages if you're

Thanks, Luis. I just orphaned both python-biopython and sqlite2 so you can go ahead and take ownership via PkgDB (I added myself as a co-maintainer for both packages before orphaning). Cheers, Alex Luis Enrique Bazán De León wrote: I can take part of this work :-) Regards! - Original

orphaning dblatex to allow a new maintainer

2013-01-23 Thread Alex Lancaster
Hi there, As I don't use this package much anymore, I am dropping back to co-maintainership and orphaning dblatex to let somebody else be the primary owner, see: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/dblatex It's a pretty minimal package in terms of maintenance, mainly requires

Hi there, I don't use BioPerl nearly as much as I used to, so I'm looking for a new maintainer for perl-bioperl and some other related packages, e.g. perl-Bio-Graphics. PackageDB links here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/perl-bioperl

I don't really use it anymore (replaced it with Zotero) and don't have time to maintain it, but it is still being developed upstream (as of late 2011): http://sourceforge.net/projects/bibus-biblio/ There is a 1.5.2 release available, see also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757675

Re: retire referencer in Fedora 16+ ?

2011-10-24 Thread Alex Lancaster
My sentiments exactly. Better not to keep known broken packages around; it's only going to cause grief for users if they find out they can't even install the package. Once it's fixed upstream to not rely on libgnomeuimm, it can easily be added back to Fedora. Alex, could you please

Hi Kalev, (Cc'ed to devel list to see if anybody else has suggestions). As you've noted libgnomeuimm has been obsoleted in f16 and higher, and referencer doesn't look like it's ported to use anything else. I filed a bug in what appears to be a (potentially) active (but slow) upstream to get some
