I don't think that will work. No, but this time we announce them on the FC5Status page as officially orphaned, remove them from devel after FC-5 branch is available, and then move on. Remember, we've used those FCXStatus pages like that before. > > Further, there are some packages marked as orphans, which are not really > > orphans. > > Yeah, I suspected something like that.

I've taken over wesnoth quite some time ago from Panu and continued up to their first final release (1.0.x series). But that's it. It remains a potentially orphaned package. Just recently, however, somebody has raised interest in taking it. I just don't remember who it was. ;) -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
