Description Todd 2013-12-22 19:15:38 UTC

May we please have an EL6 spin of Contacts in EPEL?

   rpmbuild --rebuild contacts-0.12-5.fc15.src.rpm 

works fine.

Many thanks,

It's end of life upstream so there's no point building it for anything. If you wish to it seems you've built it yourself anyway

Hi Peter,

"contacts" is a sweet, simple, in your face address book.  Others on the Xfce Fedora recommended it to me, so I know others still use it.  And, I haven't found anything better to replace it.  All the replacements are full of useless bloat.  End of life does not mean it is not still useful.  Would you please reconsider for all those others out there that still use it?
