Excellent! Thanks for nudging things forward. Soon someone else will run 'dnf install borgmatic' and be happy that it's available so easily. :) -- Todd ~~ I believe in the noble, aristocratic art of doing absolutely nothing.

You can reach all the maintainers of a given package using the alias -ow...@fedoraproject.org. I'm not sure if this is something you're thinking could be added to the existing package or would be a new package, just related to the current one. If the former, filing a bug as an enhancement request.

OK, I had just looked at 'rpm -qi ...' which is less specific. I'll do
that.

I don't know the "official or approved" process but looking in koji I see that
Benjamin Pereto is doing all the builds and appears
in the
changelog. So, being the dummy I am I'd email him. :-) :-)
