But they *do desperately* need attention - more than we can give them. Most packages are severely outdated or suffer from bitrot - and it didn't help that eclipse dropped support for 32bit architectures, which broke almost half our packages on 32bit arches. We still don't have a solution for that. And concerning FTBFS issues - we fixed those, but there's no guarantee that we can manage to do that for fedora 32 again. Fabio > -- > Sérgio M.
