I am ready to move the mpfr 4 change forward, but the 2 lines above are the only communication I've ever had from the package owner. There is already a change page here, which could be reused with some minor edits: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/mpfr-4.0.0 And that change page links to an existing releng issue where releng agreed that the only action required by them is management of a side tag: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7247 I would like to revive/hijack those to get this moving again. What should I do about the maintainer, who is probably very busy with other work? Since gcc uses mpfr, the package is a critical one for Fedora. If it is not inconsistent with RedHat's goals or policies, could I perhaps step into a comaintainer role for mpfr? Since this thread is so old, I will repeat that I have done successful x86_64 mock builds of all dependent packages. I've got the right sequence of builds all worked out and ready to go. There may be problems on other arches; if so, I am ready to fix them. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
