Thx for taking broadcom-wl and wl-kmod, again, please have a look on
others existing bugs from the related bugzilla component if the bug
aren't reassigned to you.
To sum-up, the currently orphaned packages, searching for a new owner are:
ushare-freeworld.
libdlna
xmms-freeworld , see https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1963
Theses packages would another owner also:
(As I don't have news from Chen Lei supercyper)
smpeg https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1237
west-chamber-kmod
west-chamber
xtables-addons-kmod https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1876
xtables-addons
Theses packages need help, so another co-maintainer would probably be welcomed:
vdr-dx3 https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1955
fakenes https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1969
xbmc https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1962
mythtv https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1956
(F-15) VirtualBox-kmod https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1877
openvm-tools https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1874
Here is an updated list based on some search I've done in the free section.
arcem new_maintainer new_release
basilisk2 new maintainer
blcr blcr-kmod new_maintainer new_release
elisa-plugins-ugly orphaned
em8300-kmod upstream issues with v4l1
iscsitarget iscsitarget-kmod new_release new_maintainer
nailer (still reference a weird conflicts with totem because of
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497264 ).
ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-kmod new_release new_maintainer
omnibook omnibook-kmod new_release new_maintainer
From, at least, the last 2 packages, some new maintainers has
volunteered, but so far, nothing has hit the repository. I will delete
the account of theses users if I have no answer from them soon.
If you volunteer to maintain a package from this list, please at least
provide a diff from the previous srpm, and try to have a look on the
existing opened bugs.
I will only orphan the packages that has dependency issue in the f16
repository before branching.
Please step up before tuesday 25th if you still need theses.
Thx
Nicolas (kwizart)
