I do keep track of the affected packages and may end up doing that, depending on what happens in a week or two since I posted the initial message. It's good to see some maintainers fix their packages, but I don't think posting "fixed" messages on list has any value. > For stuff like this, I think just getting a provenpackager to fix up > the packages is the best thing to do.

The problem with doing that is that it may end up keeping unmaintained packages lingering around unnoticed as they won't get flagged for not being built/updated by maintainers for N releases. I've done a bunch of such sweeping changes, for example fixed a lot of packages for the unversioned docdirs change in F-20 but I'm afraid that if maintainers couldn't be bothered to do such a simple think (and many not even bothered to simply merge the changes I made to rawhide to their F-20 branches and ship the update, nor replying to the filed bug), many of the packages I touched were effectively unmaintained and should have got new maintainers or be retired. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
