sylpheed updates on Fedora

2012-09-05 Thread Ranjan Maitra
Hi, I have been wondering about the lack of updates for sylpheed on Fedora. Neither the stable 3.2 nor the new develomental 3.3.1 has been provided: I looked up Bugzilla requests but they seem not to have been fulfilled. Is sylpheed on the road to becoming an orphan in Fefora? Many thanks, Ranjan
