If you search the archive of this mailinglist then you see that usermode was orphaned in April this year. The last release is from 2021. The source code repository is archived: https://pagure.io/usermode/ https://forge.fedoraproject.org/explore/repos? q=usermode&only_show_relevant=true&sort=recentupdate doesn't find anything. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
