https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1980282 Bug ID: 1980282 Summary: Review Request: exaile - music player Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: graham_alton@xxxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Spec URL: https://grahamwhiteuk.fedorapeople.org/pkgreviews/exaile/exaile.spec SRPM URL: https://grahamwhiteuk.fedorapeople.org/pkgreviews/exaile/ Fedora Account System Username: grahamwhiteuk Description: I would like to bring back and maintain the orphaned exaile package. Exaile is a GTK based music player written in Python and was included in Fedora up to F31 at which point it was orphaned. I suspect it was orphaned because at that time Exaile was still based on Python 2 and so the timing between Fedora dropping Python 2 support and Exaile supporting Python 3 didn't match up [1]. I have contacted the previous maintainers [2], Christopher and Deji, to ask whether they intend to continue maintenance and if they mind me taking over the package. Christopher responded to say he has left the community and I've not yet received a response from Deji. I have also checked upstream [3] that the developers are happy for it to be re-included in Fedora. To build the latest packages, I started from the latest exaile.spec file [4] most recently built for F31 and have made as few modifications as possible to add support for Python 3 and update the dependencies to the required levels. I've been running the package on my own Fedora 34 system for a couple of months (since April) and it's working very well. Note: I'm following the "New Package Process for Existing Contributors" [5] guide as I'm not aware of any instructions specific to bringing back a previously orphaned package.
