As much sense as this procedure may make in _some_ cases, it has been a failure for other packagers before. They emerge only to end the procedure and hide again afterwards (only a matter of days/weeks/months) without taking care of the packages. * Last upstream release is from 2007 and the same as offered by Fedora. * Package has not been worked on since the showstopper bug report for F10. * Upstream is seeking for a new maintainer since 2011. I don't want to take over the package either, so it simply doesn't make sense to start a tedious procedure, which could be started for other similarly non-responsive packagers, too. Someone hides, and others take a lot of effort to get rid of the crap. Just like packagers, who acquire ownership of multiple hundred packages, this is one of the non-shiny sides of Fedora, unfortunately. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
