Description

Thanks for a bug report. The upstream maintainer seems to be inactive on the Fedora bugzilla [1], unfortunately. I can add the patches to the Fedora package, but I'm afraid it's not your intention here. The main purpose of this report is to include the patches in the upstream sources, not in each distribution providing libpst, right?
I'm setting need-info to Carl.

Yeah, I mainly posted here to get the attention of Carl, who seemed to be both upstream and Fedora libpst maintainer. He has replied to my email earlier and accepted patches via private mail before, but didn't respond to this patch yet. I've included the patch in Debian and I think it is reasonable to include it in Fedora too until it reaches the upstream repository. I am sorry, I had hopes of being able to get at least one more round of patches integrated. But it is clear even to me that that won't happen. Someone else will need to take over libpst. No problem, thanks for the notice. I'm willing to be the primary upstream maintainer. I won't be able to contribute to the Fedora package though. (In reply to Paul Wise (Debian) from comment #4) > I won't be able to contribute to the Fedora package though. That's okay, I can update the package with the upstream releases. Carl suggested via email that it would be best to migrate the repository hosting elsewhere, so I've migrated the repository here: https://github.com/pst-format/libpst If either of you want to join the GitHub org I would be happy to add you. Over the next weeks I'll migrate the remaining released tarballs there too, merge the available patches (including the one in this bug), make a new release and notify downstream redistributors. I'll of course accept patches via GitHub PRs, but if you prefer not to use GitHub then patches via email will be fine too. The patches attached to this issue have been merged into the new upstream project: https://github.com/pst-format/libpst/compare/234ac9131fa805cd43ce0b70246304fa011be45f...2766c09463dd0645bb569bced9ee217de4f66dce This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle. Changing version to 36. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '36'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16. Fedora Linux 36 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see the version field. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an active release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
