https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235588 Matt McCutchen <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- Comment #20 from Matt McCutchen <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- In case anyone still watching this thread (or who finds this thread later) is interested: Escape was apparently dropped between Fedora 30 and 31 due to a FTBFS (#1674862) and lack of maintenance in Fedora. I'm a fan of Escape and may be willing to do the necessary packaging work to get it back into Fedora at some point (I'm pretty busy with other things right now). However, I almost certainly wouldn't be willing to do a bunch of grunt work reviewing unrelated Fedora packages in order to gain sponsorship as a packager, so if that's still a requirement, someone else would have to be the official maintainer and I could still do most of the work. Note that I currently have my own fork of Escape (https://mattmccutchen.net/escape/#app) with numerous small but valuable fixes and enhancements. The upstream maintainer (Tom 7) has expressed interest in merging at least some of them but is very busy with projects other than Escape and hasn't gotten around to spending any time on it yet. I would be much more motivated to help maintain Escape in Fedora if it were a version with my enhancements. I could try to get upstream to merge them, but if it seems like that won't happen anytime soon, we could discuss whether Fedora might be willing to recognize me as its "upstream". >From my point of view, the main benefit of having Escape in Fedora is making it discoverable to users looking for games of that kind: I was lucky enough to find it via something like "dnf search puzzle game" (I don't remember my exact search terms) shortly before I upgraded from Fedora 30 to 32. It's very hard to find in a web search because many other, very different games are commonly described as "escape" games. For someone who already knows about Escape, the benefit compared to installing from a binary tarball and using the built-in updater is not great. A copr may or may not be a useful compromise with respect to discoverability, ease of installation, and maintenance work.
