Epiphany effectively orphaned
In the course of doing a bug report on Epiphany, it's come up that Epiphany is effectively orphaned: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/epiphany it is owned by gecko-maint, but since it's now based on Webkit, that makes no sense, and I see no reason to expect the Gecko maintainers group to care about Epiphany. It seems like whoever controls the 'gecko-maint' group should formally orphan Epiphany, and someone else should pick it up. For reference, the bug I was reporting was https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516938 . -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

Making what up? How does it make sense for a project that's no longer based on Gecko to be maintained by the Gecko maintainers group? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

Well, what you said was different, namely that it is not maintained at all. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

I just wanted to flag the issue up, as Epiphany is a quite important package (it's GNOME's official browser, even if we ship Firefox on our 'desktop' spin). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

I wouldn't say it's orphaned, but perhaps we probably should change the owner on it. For what its worth, the gecko group has done some WebKit related work in the not-so-distant past. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
