In addition to all the other answers covering the right way to do things, a couple of other options... If you really want to *know who the maintainer is* - not just contact 'the maintainer' and wait for them to get back - you can check it at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/ . https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/dhcp tells you the owner is jpopelka. That's the 'right way'. Or you can do the AdamW Patented Dumb Fast Way: rpm -q --changelog dhcp-client | less and see who makes the most commits to the package, then mail that person. Even if they're not technically the package owner...they're probably the person you want. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
