I'd really like to make this happen. It seems that the main issue is build dependencies. But there are some ways to work around that. git-annex's git repository has several branches that avoid most of the newer build dependencies. For building with ghc older than 7.4, there is the ghc-7.0 branch. For building without S3 (and its long chain of dependencies noted above), there is a no-s3 branch. It's also possible to avoid monad-control (which also avoids lifted-base), although currently the only branch I have that does do is the debian-stable branch. There's also a no-bloom branch omitting another recent build dependency. These all remove some features (and dropping monal-control removes some robustness in one case), but still leave a quite capable program. I would be quite willing to put together a branch that omits any build dependencies necessary for Fedora, and maintain it for the lifetime of the Fedora release. (Not sure if I can commit to the lifetime of a Red Hat release :) Just get in touch with me. -- 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
