Re: "sustmi" GNOME Shell packages should be orphaned -- I'd like to take over
How do we proceed from here? I see the wiki talks about how to voluntarily orphan one's own package, and how to take over a package that has *been* orphaned. But I don't see instructions about how to declare a clearly abandoned package as orphaned. ~ Andrew Toskin FAS: terrycloth > /cc yaderv > > On Sun, Aug 06, 2017 at 08:10:02PM -, Andrew Toskin wrote: > > There are a couple GNOME Shell extensions that I think ought to be > > orphaned.

"sustmi" GNOME Shell packages should be orphaned -- I'd like to take over
There are a couple GNOME Shell extensions that I think ought to be orphaned. Since I already maintain a few other GNOME Shell extensions, I'd be happy to take over. In the Fedora repos, there are two "sustmi" packages, named for the upstream developer's GitHub handle. There's a single listing in the old PKGDB -- https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/gnome-shell-extension-sustmi/ -- but it's two (sub?)packages: * gnome-shell-extension-sustmi-windowoverlay-icons * gnome-shell-extension-sustmi-historymanager-prefix-search A look on Bugzilla shows requests to update the packages going as far back as 2013, which never got any response from the maintainer: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?classification=Fedora&product=Fedora&component=gnome-shell-extension-sustmi The only new builds in Koji over the past few years have been automated mass rebuilds. From the changelog, it doesn't seem like there has been any manual updates from the maintainer since 2012. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=925824 I've tried commenting on the Bugzilla threads, and tried sending requests through PKGDB (just before it was deprecated), to be added as a co-maintainer, but I haven't gotten any response either. These packages have been badly neglected for a long time, and no longer work at all on any supported Fedora release. I'd like to get them back in shape. ~ Andrew Toskin FAS: terrycloth ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
