Sending an email to libgda-owner would have raised the attention on your patches. I got a notification late night about and I planned to go through it later today (currently, I am teaching a class and I still have my $dayjob duty) libgda is co-maintained with the desktop team but it seems that the project is not anymore maintained in GNOME upstream hence its sore state. So first task is to apply those patches and possibly, send them upstream. Second task is to determine if we should drop the packages (and it includes all the bindings to libgda), but I need more time for that. Alternative is you want comaintainership, just ask, you're welcome :) Regards, H. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/BV6IP6FF6VRJDJM4PILHC3LCK74WRYSF/
