This makes for a maintenance nightmare. I've found another email address of the author and I've sent him a message regarding the maintenance of the project.

The latest files are here: - https://github.com/ciupicri/rpmbuild/blob/master/SPECS/python-trml2pdf.spec - https://sites.google.com/site/cristianciupitu/python-trml2pdf-1.2-2.fc14.src.rpm I'll look at other review requests tomorrow. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
