Orphaning vdr-skinsoppalusikka and the status of my packages (looking for co-maintainers for Finnish spell checking)

Hi all,

As some of you may have noticed, I have been away from Fedora
packaging for quite a while. I've been hoping to find the time for
packaging work, but it hasn't happened. In hindsight, I should have
let the project know earlier.

I have now orphaned vdr-skinsoppalusikka, because I don't have a
working VDR installation anymore. If someone has the ability, my user
(vpv) can be dropped from the packages vdr, vdr-epgsearch, vdr-femon
and vdr-osdteletext.

My main interest in Fedora packaging used to be Finnish spell
checking. The spell checking stack, consisting of libreoffice-voikko,
libvoikko, voikko-fi and foma (as a dependency) went through quite
major changes in 2017-2019. The vocabulary package voikko-fi requires
foma to build. I managed to get the foma package reviewed and into
Fedora in 2018. It was automatically orphaned and then retired due to
FTBFS (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/foma). The code has now been
fixed in Github (https://github.com/mhulden/foma) and it should build,
but I haven't tried it yet. If I get it to build, I might ask for it
to be added back. It seems like I'll be able to work on packaging for
a few days a year, so don't expect any miracles.

Once foma is built, voikko-fi can be built. Even though it shares some
history with the previous vocabulary package malaga-suomi-voikko, it
probably needs a new review. Then libvoikko could be updated to use
the new vocabulary. If anyone is interested in working on these, I
would be happy to get co-maintainers.

I'm willing to stay as a co-maintainer of gpodder and
python-mygpoclient. I code Python at $DAYJOB so I might be able to
help.

Best regards,
Ville-Pekka Vainio (vpv)
