Sorry, but whoever does the packaging clearly is in charge of notifying the other maintainers, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainer_responsibilities#Notify_others_of_changes_that_may_affect_their_packages > Making it default > is IMHO task for respective spin owners / SIG members.

I might be wrong but AFAIK all the spins (should) use the default artwork. So it should be pretty easy to ping everybody. And if a spin doesn't use the default artwork (KDE?), then there is no reason for the spin maintainers to get notified. Or am I mistaken here? > I wonder what might be the best way to handle this.

This might be even better since none of the 17 maintainers of desktop-backgrounds seems to really care about the package. > But as this happens twice in a year, I always forget about these > things... Same here ;) > Anyway, I'm open to suggestions how to make the process better. Hey, it was not that bad, at least it has worked better than last year. In F12 I had to do the update after beta freeze, so there definitely was an improvement. ;) > Thanks, > Martin Thanks for all your hard and excellent work. I appreciate what you do for Fedora very much. Regards, Christoph -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
