Someone with the time and interest in maintaining the package _in_fedora_ has to package it per our packaging guideline as a binary RPM rather than a source tarball, provide regular updates, and be willing to investigate/fix bugs, as well as stay in regular contact with upstream developrs. It's definitely not for the feint of heart, especially if you aren't actually interested in using a package such as this, as it seems all of our current package maintainers are. If you are interested in seeing this package in Fedora, I encourage you to look at joining the Package maintainer group. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join Ryan -- Ryan Rix == http://hackersramblings.wordpress.com | http://rix.si/ == -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
