            Sparkleshare package is
              currently behind upstream which just reach 2.0[1][2]

              The maintainer was contacted for updating the package with
              current broken dependency below on Fedora 27 and above:

              
               Problem: package sparkleshare-1.2.0-8.fc26.x86_64
              requires mono(webkit-sharp) = 1.1.15.0, but none of the
              providers can be installed

                - conflicting requests

                - nothing provides webkitgtk needed by
              webkit-sharp-0.3-19.fc26.x86_64

              
               but no response so far[3][4].

              As the application is used by Design Team, could someone
              make the change because I cannot access it?

              Thanks in advance,

            A quick look of course shows this to be an issue with
              the retiring of webkitgtk as that's no longer in the repos
              for webkit-sharp to build against, which then means
              sparkleshare doesn't have its dependency satisfied.
            

            According to the sparkleshare release notes[0] the
              1.3.0 release added the gtk3 bindings... so any of those
              ought to help.
            

            The build dependencies are more complex than I can do
              in a few minutes though[1]
            

            The 2.0 release the release notes states has breaking
              changes from 1.X ... 
            

            To get this updated someone needs to package
              webkit2-sharp (and any dependencies that needs to build)
              ... gtk-sharp3 is already packaged though which should
              help.
            

            They say that as of 2.0 they have a flatpak release -
              have you tried that so at least you'll have access to the
              application in F27?
            

    Wearing Design Suite lab maintainer's hat, I would love to include a
    flatpak version of 2.0 as default for F27 if there is a proper
    mechanism to do so.

    
    Just a quick look, I made a spec file for guideline[1]
