If you can't keep it, don't package it.
Hello,
I was the maintainer of manaplus and the one who brought it into Fedora.
Back then manaplus was supposed to replace mana as the client for TMW.
However TMW does not seem to be dropping mana support now.
Especially since I am a mana developer myself I never really used
manaplus a lot. So later on my motivation to put work into manaplus was
slowly fading away. Every time a update was released (every 2 weeks) I
was slowly starting to get annoyed by doing new builds every time,
testing them / reporting issues back / evaluating whether it really
makes sense to do an update (because sometimes updates only brought not
significant changes).
Additionally I started to work recently and I will start to study soon
too, so I have even less time.
I did not really want to spend the remaining time on a package which is
no fun for me to maintain. (I would have never found your mail here if
somebody would not have pointed me here).
My alternative would have been to simply let the package getting
outdated and feeling bad about that each two weeks. Since I do not want
either of that i orphaned it.
Regards,
Erik
