Hi again :) I don't see you in packager group in FAS (which is a requirement for lxqt-sig access to LXQt packages). So you need to be sponsored as a packager first to be able to build and maintain official Fedora packages, check https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers_______________________________________________
But a first step would be playing with LXQt and the new version in a personal copr to get familiar with it. Very useful resource is the build order provided by upstream: https://forum.lxqt.org/t/build-order-release-plan/292
Greetings,
Christian

Hi,_______________________________________________
are you already a packager? The work is mostly updating packages, besides that one important part is the theming of LXQt (usage of Fedora wallpaper etc.) and finally maintaining the live spin. Packaging is the most important topic.
Greetings,
Christian

Hi all,
as some of you might have recognized, Fedora's LXQt is quite outdated (we have 0.11, current one for some weeks now is 0.13) and also needs some rework with respect to theming and the package set (upstream restructured packaging a bit with respect to common files). When I joined the Fedora LXQt effort, my job was the creation of the spin while other maintainers took care of most packages. Unfortunately the core packager left Fedora. I did the whole update once, but at that time it was mostly just about bumping the version and rediffing the patches. Also I had much more free time at that point.
As I recognized that I also really need more time for work on my PhD stuff, I decided to resign from work on Fedora LXQt. Of course I will continue my work on Fedora's scientific packages including the Astronomy Lab, which is closely linked with my PhD stuff. Also my other contributions like acting as an ambassador will continue as before, so it is "just" about LXQt.
If you're interested in picking Fedora LXQt up, let me know. Then I'll also give initial assistance of course. I already started some work on the update some weeks ago in copr https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lupinix/LXQt-0.13/ and https://pagure.io/lxqt-testing-copr This is missing the rework on themes etc., and I did not check all of the older patches. My intention of that move now is, that there should be still enough time for new maintainers to get everything up to date again for Fedora 29. Or (hopefully not :( ) to remove it if necessary.
Greetings,
Christian
