And there are only three mozilla > maintainers at Red Hat. In fact the backlog for Mozilla-related packages is even bigger, because (due to the fact that MoFo products are unmaintainable at all) many of them were closed automatically with new Fedora releases. Anyway, the situation is worser then people believe, because no matter how many maintainers MoFo apps have in Fedora - they just can't fix bugs and close tickets, even ones with clean and sane patches attached. Speaking of me - I opened two tickets regarding PowerPC support with small patches attached - so far one was closed automatically with next Fedora release, and another will be closed in a next few months. That was highly disappointing for me, because I wasn't aware about the current situation with licensing deal between RH and MoFo, which is preventing Fedora packagers (us, I mean) from fixing issues. So no excuse here, please - just allow us fixing bugs. So far I see the only way to fix this sorrow situation (that was proposed several times before) - we MUST replace proprietary MoFo products with open alternatives. -- With best regards, Peter Lemenkov. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
