I have an aarch64 machine where I test stuff, including RPM Fusion packages. But you're right, the number of HandBrake users on non-x86_64 arches is probably close to zero. Still, there's no reason to exclude them if the amount of effort required to keep HB building on other arches is low, as in this case. > Users have asked to update this package.

Are any of the people you asked listed as HandBrake package maintainers? If yes, then it's fine, though I'd have preferred to be notified that you were working on an update. I'll try to be on IRC more often this year, but I'm quite busy usually and I often forget to open my IRC client. If not, then I'm surprised that you think contacting infrastructure admins instead of maintainers is appropriate behaviour. In Fedora, do you ask the infrastructure team for permission to make an update to a package you don't maintain? > > The package is not unmaintained, but you have not opened a bugzilla > > ticket or even sent a message to us. > > Your last commit was on 2022-02-17.

I don't think you understood, so let me rephrase: I don't mind if you touch packages where I'm listed as maintainer. I think you're doing well both here and in Fedora. I'm just asking you to put in a bit of effort. Regards, Dominik -- Fedora https://getfedora.org | RPM Fusion http://rpmfusion.org There should be a science of discontent.
