It seems to me that Seth quite carefully wrote his email specifically to forestall replies of this kind. Apparently it wasn't enough... It seems quite clear to me that this is just an advisory email about *possibly* unmaintained packages. If in fact it's not been rebuilt simply because it doesn't need to be, exactly as the email says, that's perfectly fine and there's nothing wrong with that. Just ignore it. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
