Seems that was not enough of a warning, as I didn't get any work of my
shoulders. I nevertheless stayed half a year longer and did some work to
make sure RPM Fusion for F14 was ready. But I don't want to continue
like this, as those jobs feel like a burdon and I think I did a bad job
in the past few months (in some areas that was on purpose in the hope
that someone would get annoyed enough and step up to take over that work).
Hence I hereby announce that I plan to orphan most of my packages (all
except for staging-kmod) in RPM Fusion and stop all the regular work by
the end of this year(ยน). That includes
* pushes
* kmod rebuilds
IOW: If you care about RPM Fusion and want it to continue to exist step
up and take care of things, as I took care of some crucial things and
there is no backup in place right now that will silently take over those
jobs once I stop doing them.
I'm sorry to see you leave (*), but I understand you're decision. I'm not in
a position to pick up you're most important tasks:
* pushes
* kmod rebuilds
But I could maybe take over some of the packages you're orphaning. I was about
to ask for a list, but I realized I could do that myself, so for all on the list
here are Thorsten's packages in rpmfusion-free (according to owners.list):
akmods
buildsys-build-rpmfusion
kmodtool
mp3gain
rpmfusion-free-remix-kickstarts
rpmfusion-free-release
rt2860
staging-kmod
staging-kmod-addons
I'll take over mp3gain, unless there are other takers.
For rpmfusion non-free the list is:
rpmfusion-nonfree-remix-kickstarts
rpmfusion-nonfree-release

Hans
