Description Michel Lind 2021-07-14 04:50:19 UTC

Hi Jeff,

I am using CentOS Stream 8 and am using various packages in the EPEL[1] 
repository. I am interested in seeing fortune-mod added to EPEL 8.

Would it be possible for you to maintain the package? While EPEL 
is more conservative in package maintenance[2][3], it does allow for
updates to later versions when needed.

I am happy to co-maintain (FAS: salimma); additionally, EPEL now has a packaging team[4] that can help co-maintain branches (FAS group: epel-packagers-sig), that can be added with either commit access or collaborator access to epel* branches (if it's not desired that they have access to the rawhide and f* branches).

The EPEL team appreciate your help with EPEL.

Koji scratch build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=71860834

PS I used to maintain this way back in fedora.us, so I'd be happy to be re-added as a comaintainer (see commits 10e8a722398b010ec2c9c2b455fdb826229c70cf and a0bd54c31198321368dd33e9386e2388435e0617

the first scratch build failed; I've cleaned up the spec to remove missing dependencies that are not being used anyway and do some general cleanups.
