The proper way to do this is by a package review request. The most important thing here is that someone is needed who is willing to maintain this package. If you want to be package maintainer of it, please follow the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join If you aren't interested in maintaining this package I think it is a good idea to drop a message at the fedora-devel mailing list to see if you can find someone interested in it. Or maybe even better: find someone who can fix the packages which are broken by the gmime update. Looks like altlinux has patches for balsa: http://git.altlinux.org/people/ildar/packages/?p=balsa.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/patches/gmime-2.4 And pan patches are being worked on here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541676 (In reply to comment #1) > The proper way to do this is by a package review request.

Currently both pan and dbmail don't yet rebuild against gmime 2.4 and are unlikely to have patches ready in time for F-11 (although upstream are working on it). I propose introducing the compat- package to allow these packages to avoid being dropped. If porting is not finished by F-12, I propose dropping non-gmime-2.4 compliant packages then. New gmime22 package now built: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=94832 Closing bug. |
