Unresponsive maintainer of plasma-widget-menubar

2013-08-25 Thread Mario Blättermann
Hi,

the package maintainer of plasma-widget-menubar doesn't response for some 
months. The package needs to be updated to v0.2.0. See 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952360.

I like to take the maintainership.

Best Regards,
Mario

Problem has been solved, the maintainer jreznik has added me as a co-
maintainer.

As far as gnome-tweak-tool can activate/deactivate certain extensions, I
would prefer to have a package. This would be convenient for systems
with many users. A global package provides extensions, which are
displayed in gnome-tweak-tool, and users can switch them on and off. No
need to search for extensions and install them individually.

FluxStyle package owned

Hi,

FYI, I've just taken the maintainership of the long-time orphaned

Review swaps: WindowMaker dockapps

2011-07-17 Thread Mario Blättermann
Hello,

Fedora ships WindowMaker and some *.box windowmanagers which are able to 
use WindowMaker applets. But it lacks of them, that's why I've build 
some packages. Here is a list:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=Package+Review&query_format=advanced&bug_status=NEW&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&emailreporter1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=mariobl%40freenet.de

On some of them some pre-review work has already been done. Shouldn't be 
that hard to review them. Please let me know what I can do in return.

Best Regards,
Mario

The packaging guide prevents us from using a compiler as a BR, because 
it is part of the basic build environment anyway. But using a compiler 
as a runtime requirement should be OK. As far as I know, compilers are 
not usually in the (automatically generated) runtime dependency list of 
a -devel subpackage.

+1 from me. Well, it would be convenient to automate the rpm changelog
creation in some way. But we need *our* changelog for *our* changes to
the package. Most packages ship a NEWS file anyway, which includes the
changes to the software itself.

That's no solution. We don't want to switch to Xfce, we want to have
back a usable GNOME. I appreciated GNOME for its modularity all the
years. If there's a painless way to get this back and to get my favorite
window manager Fluxbox back into GNOME 3, there's no need to switch the
desktop.

In fact, it was always a task for distributors to make a DE really
usable. Remember the introduction of the Nautilus spatial view in GNOME
2.14. Due to massive user protests, we had our old behavior (as default)
back after some time. The same should happen with the "fallback mode" in
GNOME 3. We need a new GNOME as close as possible to the old one, to
keep the current users. Well, it would be fine to get new GNOME lovers,
but not by kicking the old farts out.

Mario

Re: Package review SIG dead?

Yes, of course. I think we need some infrastructure besides the wiki. 
And a policy for handling old review requests, to shrink the 
continuously growing "new package review tickets" list a bit. There are 
a lot of tickets where the packager is no longer responsible. The list 
becomes confused more and more, and it's not attractive for potential 
reviewers, unless someone is interested in to see a certain software in 
Fedora.

Besides that, there are quite old package reviews with the 
FE_NEEDSPONSOR blocker set, and they seem to be one-time-wonders in many 
cases. I'm in doubt if they will find a sponsor one day.

Examples for such outdated tickets are bugs # 605290, 616935, 636930 and 
many more. In fact, all review tickets which are still incomplete and 
idle for more than half a year are outdated and should be closed (after 
a last attempt to ping the packager).

Mario
