I, too, am wondering this, as it has been a long while since my last attempt was rejected. The last time I spoke to the package maintainer, he had plans to ship the new MPFR 4 as a separate package from the MPFR 3 release, but that was some time ago. I am a bit less busy now, so am happy to just get on with it myself, but, looking through the packager documentation, I am having trouble finding any Fedora tutorials and guidelines on doing this. I'm not even sure if I am able to package another version of a library if I am not the maintainer of the original. Can somebody provide some guidance on this?
