Re: Claiming ownership of a dropped package

[1] tl;dr: If it was retired for more than 8 weeks, it needs to go through the Package Review process again. After the review is approved, instead of filing a "new repo" ticket, you need to file a "claim ownership" ticket.

Claiming ownership of a dropped package
Hello folks! I would like to become a maintainer/packager of package scrot [1] that was dropped [2] last year. (Disclaimer: I have experience with maintaining some packages in COPR but not with actually maintaining packages in the official Fedora repos. I'm completely new to this.) In the docs there is a section about Claiming Ownership of an Orphaned Package [3] but I'm not sure whether this still applies if the package was already dropped. Should I follow the New Package Process for New Contributors [4] as if the package was completely new? Thanks in advance for any help. Regards [1] https://github.com/resurrecting-open-source-projects/scrot [2] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/YCLZFYRTA3GGTPBQ7PLDN4OGXE6MATHO/ [3] https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Orphaning_Process/#claiming_ownership_of_an_orphaned_package [4] https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/New_Package_Process_for_New_Contributors/ -- Peter Kotvan ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
