Re: DMitry
Thanks for the information. I have tried to contact upstream with no success, their website hasn't been updated in a while, and the latest sources appear to be five years old. There hasn't been a package update in three months so I'll submit as new after I fix a few issues. Thanks.

19.06.2010 20:34, Ian Baker ?: Hello to all. The subject package is currently orphaned and I'm thinking of taking it over. One problem I can foresee is that, as far as I can tell, there's no longer an upstream maintainer and at least one patch is required to fix compilation issues (warnings) and the code needs a general tidy-up. I could maintain the patches locally, or as a small pet project I could take over upstream maintenance which shouldn't require much work as the codebase is small. Any suggestions and advice would be appreciated and I'm new so please go easy! Thanks.

Re: Ownership of DMitry
Thanks for your reply. I had read the Wiki page, but there's no mention of new contributors adopting orphaned packages. So I have to submit the orphan as new all over again in order to kickstart the new contributor process? Thanks.

DMitry
Hello to all. The subject package is currently orphaned and I'm thinking of taking it over. One problem I can foresee is that, as far as I can tell, there's no longer an upstream maintainer and at least one patch is required to fix compilation issues (warnings) and the code needs a general tidy-up. I could maintain the patches locally, or as a small pet project I could take over upstream maintenance which shouldn't require much work as the codebase is small. Any suggestions and advice would be appreciated and I'm new so please go easy! Thanks. Ian -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
