well I honestly believe that what has occurred is that they are using a local
.spec file which they modify and they dont check the current one in contribs
to see if anybody has made changes to it.
I dont think it was intentional and like i said I dont always have the time to
work on them but i sure do fix things when they are broken especially with
the rpm's I use regularly. If it turns out they are broken a little more than
I would like maybe I should approach the current maintainers and ask to be
the maintainer.
I can currently think if a handfull of rpm's I would not mind maintaining.
Mostly server stuff especially the ones that I placed in contribs in the
first place a few years back.
For me this would currently be
pure-ftpd
anomy (if it makes it into contribs) :)
bibletime and sword (if buchan so chooses)
I would not mind doing
dovecot
I have a few other things I work on also but for now it's mostly this small
little groups of programs
I'm trying not to get to much since I never know how busy I'm going to be at
work. I would like to maintain a few packages well instead of a bunch of them
not very well.
