In a situation like this you need not submit a review request. AFAIK you should first try contacting the maintainer, possibly asking for access to dist-git and offering to handle the update yourself. Should the current maintainer be non-responsive, you can file a ticket on releng pagure, requesting to be made new maintainer. Iwicki, Thanks for your reply. Actually, I have raised a bug where the maintainer has not replied. Also, when I tried to edit the existing spec file, it is too complicated for me (it includes devel branch as well etc). So I have decided to make a new built. The version of grace supplied with fedora 27 is broken. Trying to run it gives: --> Broken or incomplete installation - read the FAQ! Using strace to see what it was doing last shows that it is looking for fonts such as: fonts/type1/z003034l.pfa etc. This is with grace-5.1.25-9.fc27.x86_64. The above font files were supplied with the grace rpm in fedora 26 (where it worked). OK, the missing fonts issue is caused by:
urw-base35-fonts noarch 20170801-2.fc27 fedora 9.9 k
replacing urw-fonts.noarch 3:2.4-24.fc27
urw-fonts.noarch has the required fonts whereas urw-base35-fonts doesn't and this kills xmgrace...
Jussi, also, there is more to do about the spec. Like, e.g. why should I need nedit as the text editor? I am sorry for the late reply, but unfortunately, I have missed the notification. xmgrace does call nedit when you edit or create a set using text editor. So that is a valid dependence. Of course, one could change nedit to something more modern like gedit. I think long time ago it used to open a terminal window with vi (where most people would get stuck), so nedit is an improvement over this ;-) OK, but since the maintainer is not responding to the bug, what is the best bet now? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1517243#c1 ? If you want to carry this forward, you'll need to gain Fedora packager privileges. Have you done reviews of other packages? Please paste some links here. I'll close this bug, because a new review is not necessary. Existing package needs to be updated instead. |
