I do see that the last time the spec was updated minus mass rebuilds was 2008. So it does need a re-review before being unorphaned. That's a reason for it to be retired atm. So to unretire: Check out the package using: cvs co -d :ext:USERNAME@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/cvs/pkgs jna-posix cd jna-posix/devel Update the spec file to make sure it meets current packaging guidelines. Submit for a review following: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process When done, open a cvsadmin request (and mention that it's a review of a retired package). Then you'll be assigned as owner. -Toshio
