I have orphaned some Java packages. These two were used to support jnormaliz, which used to be part of the normaliz package. It is now a separate project, and I don't use it, so I am not packaging it. If somebody would like to do so, you will want to take up these two packages: - balloontip (balloon tip component for Swing applications) - javasysmon (Java system monitor) The other two were intended to be dependencies of jReality. However, while I was still moving these packages along, jReality upstream moved from the free version of itext to the non-free version. And then upstream stopped making commits to their repository. I have decided to abandon work on getting jReality into Fedora. If somebody would like to take up the gauntlet, you can find the remaining packages, for now, on https://jjames.fedorapeople.org/. The packages I have orphaned are as follows: - jacknativeclient (Java bindings for JACK clients) - jinput (Java game controller API) I should explain the situation with the jinput patches. I spent a few years trying to find a maintainer to take a patch to fix compilation on all Linux distributions. I finally got one jinput maintainer to merge a git pull request. That same day, just a few hours later, I submitted a new pull request for the next patch in the sequence, Patch4 in the current spec file, to plug a resource leak. I figured that now that I had the maintainer's attention, we could get somewhere. Ha ha! No, that pull request is still sitting there, with no comments and no action taken. That's too bad, because I wanted to help move jinput up to 2004 by introducing generics with Patch5. And then compilation broke on all Linux distributions with kernels >= 4.5, which is the reason for Patch6, but since the maintainer is once again not paying attention, what can I do? All of these packages have been orphaned, so feel free to grab them if you are interested. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
