I have too many packages that I am the maintainer for and need help. If you would like to help out by either becoming a co-maintainer or becoming the primary maintainer, please let me know. The full list follows. Many of these I just made the scitech_sig group co-mainter of as described here:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/scitech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/76IZTKYWTLQL35FJAWEWBNUIGRAQJQX7/
so if you are interested in those becoming a member of the scitech_sig, if you are not already, would probably be the easiest.
Thanks!

svgalib
As one of the last upstream developers of svgalib I honestly
wonder why this is still alive today.
Are you maintaining this because it is a dependency of
something you care about? Or do you actually care about / use
programs which use its functionality ?
IMHO the best solution would be to just drop this, which
I guess first requires fixing things which needlessly still
build an svgalib backend, while they really shouldn't.
Checking for runtime deps on F32 gives me:
bochs-0:2.6.11-2.fc32.x86_64
bochs-debugger-0:2.6.11-2.fc32.x86_64
bochs-gdb-0:2.6.11-2.fc32.x86_64
gnuboy-svgalib-0:1.0.3-24.fc32.x86_64
koules-svgalib-0:1.4-31.fc32.x86_64
lcdproc-0:0.5.9-6.20190625git781b311.fc32.x86_64
I'm co-maintainer of lcdproc and I would be happy to
drop the dependency there. It seems that for
gnuboy and koules svgalib support already lives
in a subpackage so it would just be a matter of
dropping (*) these sub packages.
So that just leaves bochs, where I guess we
can probably also just build it without
svgalib support.
So what is your take on working towards
just dropping svgalib?
Regards,
Hans
*) and Obsoleting them from the main package
_______________________________________________
I honestly have no idea how I ended up with svgalib. I suspect it was a dependency of another package of mine long ago. I would be quite happy to have it retired. Thanks.
Ok I've filed bugs against various packages to drop their svgalib deps for F33+:
1814610 - Please drop bochs svgalib dependency
1814815 - Please drop koules svgalib dependency
1814816 - Please drop lcdproc svgalib dependency
1814817 - svgalib is obsolete, drop it from the distribution starting with Fedora 33
The bochs one has already been fixed :) And I will take care of the lcdproc one.
And one for a rpmfusion pkg depending on it:
rf5567 - Please drop gnuboy svgalib dependency
Regards,
Hans
