FESCo has the final say of course, but these are the items > on my candidate list. I'd prefer packages get fixed rather than > removed. If you are the package owner, or are interested in the > future of these packages, please investigate these build failures and > fix them ASAP. > > astyle-1.21-6.fc8 [u'433971 ASSIGNED'] (build/make) addutko,mtasaka Please don't remove astyle, KDE developers use this to keep coding styles in a certain format and it's documented on our wiki how to use astyle. If it doesn't build, I'll co-maintain it. > lilypond-2.10.33-1.fc8 [u'434394 ASSIGNED'] (build/make) limb Removing this will break any MIDI based apps, you sure that's good? Especially rosegarden and such which use lilypond for notation. > pdsh-2.11-6.fc9 [u'440811 ASSIGNED'] (build/make) kg6fnk Please do not remove PDSH this is needed for clusters especially HPC clusters. Pdsh should build just fine, if not I'll co-maintain it. /me worries what releng is doing... -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
