An update here, since Bruno has also replied but is not subscribed to devel@. I've had a look at some of the packages, found a few issues and added comments in bugzilla. * Busybox (and mindi-busybox) contain another bundled MD5 implementation originally by Ulrich Drepper. * "buffer" has been retired in 2011 in a questionable way. There has not been a FTBFS ticket in bugzilla for it in 2011. Perhaps the related notifications on devel@ list have not been mailed to package owners. I don't know the details. * It is not known yet why Bruno is not a member of the packager group anymore. * That mindi-busybox contains a forked copy of Busybox, is something I don't feel comfortable with. It is not clear to me either how much interest in mondo there is among Fedora users. Starting to work on these review requests just because they are the oldest one that have been stalled for various reasons, doesn't sound right. Usually, it's easy to push a new package through the review process, provided that there is a minimum of activity from the submitter and the reviewer(s). An extra plus, if the participants are users of the software with real interest in it and are packagers, who may perform the review and approve the package. There has been activity in the mondo review ticket (62 comments so far is much more than the average), and mindi has been up to 40 comments between 2006 and 2011, too, but inbetween there have been several years of complete silence. For example, from 2008-12-14 to 2011-11-18. The non-responding reviewer has been tolerated from 2008 to 2013 even. I would not have waited five years for something to happen magically and would have raised an alarm-bell much earlier or would have swapped reviewers with other package submitters. I mean, some of the tickets have not been visible to reviewers even. The set of packages has been submitted in 2006. It feels like several years have been lost. Personally, I'm pretty much a mondorescue newbie, since I've seen it in use some years ago related to Debian. I don't know how popular it is, and whether Fedora Users use it actually. It would certainly be helpful, if there were a user community working on the reviews and the packages for Fedora. It would not be helpful if I jumped in to approve them just to get these old tickets fixed, but without community interest in them. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
