Bug 427611

Bug 315021 is the submission of a spec file to upgrade this package.

This is my first package, I have had some discussion with the past maintainer
who has not had time to upgrade the RPM.  So I would need a sponsor

To make it sure, did Roozbeh say to you that you can take over
the maintainership of this package?

No he didn't say that I can take over maintainership, the following is what he
did say and why I opened bug 315021.  The delay in that bug was why I tried my
hand at fixing the .spec file for the new release and once that was done the
further delay was why I opened this.  I was hoping that the .spec would make it
easier for Roozbeh to quickly upgrade, I'd prefer that to still be the case as I
don't think I have time or experience to be the maintainer:

Hi Dwayne,

I am currently in a very busy transition period, moving from Tehran to
San Jose, California. That's been the reason things have been going very
slow on my Fedora front.

Still, to make sure I don't forget to update the package in Fedora, feel
free to open a bug for updating translate-toolkit at
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ Make sure it's assigned to me.

Cheers,
Roozbeh

Well, I have to understand the current situation correctly.
- Do you want to co-maintain translate-toolkit with Roozbeh?
  (and is Roozbeh willing to accept it? If unsuer, would you
   contact him/her?)
- Or you don't want to even co-maintain translate-toolkit with
  Roozbah?

Note:
Currently translate-toolkit is open to cvsextras members,
which means that every person who maintains at least one package
on Fedora (including me) can make changes on translate-toolkit .

So if you want I can update translate-toolkit to the latest version.
However I don't want to do so because I don't know what translate-toolkit
is at all and so I don't know how to check if the latest version
works well...

I'd be happy to co-maintain, although I would most likely shift the
responsibility onto someone within my organisation in due course.  I'll contact
Roosbeh and point to this bug for him to participate in this discussion.

I know what it does since I code on it, so am fully able to check the operation
and validate dependencies, etc.
