Hi all,
as some of you might have recognized, Fedora's LXQt is quite outdated
(we have 0.11, current one for some weeks now is 0.13) and also needs
some rework with respect to theming and the package set (upstream
restructured packaging a bit with respect to common files). When I
joined the Fedora LXQt effort, my job was the creation of the spin while
other maintainers took care of most packages. Unfortunately the core
packager left Fedora. I did the whole update once, but at that time it
was mostly just about bumping the version and rediffing the patches.
Also I had much more free time at that point.
As I recognized that I also really need more time for work on my PhD
stuff, I decided to resign from work on Fedora LXQt. Of course I will
continue my work on Fedora's scientific packages including the Astronomy
Lab, which is closely linked with my PhD stuff. Also my other
contributions like acting as an ambassador will continue as before, so
it is "just" about LXQt.
If you're interested in picking Fedora LXQt up, let me know. Then I'll
also give initial assistance of course. I already started some work on
the update some weeks ago in copr
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lupinix/LXQt-0.13/ and
https://pagure.io/lxqt-testing-copr This is missing the rework on themes
etc., and I did not check all of the older patches. My intention of that
move now is, that there should be still enough time for new maintainers
to get everything up to date again for Fedora 29. Or (hopefully not :( )
to remove it if necessary.
Greetings,
Christian
