Re: sylpheed updates on Fedora

[Christopher Svanefalk <christopher.svanefalk@xxxxxxxxx>]

The sad thing is that any packet, even if it is an application which has a large userbase both inside and outside Fedora, will drop dead if the maintainer leaves (there does not seem to be a process in place for replacing them). I was very surprised, for one, that the Netbeans IDE had been dropped completely for Fedora 17. The framework is still there, but the IDE is gone.

I provide stable updates for Sylpheed on Centos here:

http://www.melvilletheatre.com/articles/el6

Download sylpheed-3.2.0-1.src.rpm from my webpage, and do this:

rpmbuild --rebuild sylpheed-3.2.0-1.src.rpm

That will get you a Fedora binary of the latest stable version.
