Let's see what happens. After thinking about it longer, I actually don't want to maintain EL-6 branch of gpodder anymore (I don't use it at all anymore, switched to Android podcatchers exclusively). Are you a Fedora packager or do you know one willing to take over maintainer of this (and related) EPEL packages? Unfortunately I don't.. Then maybe it would be better to remove it from EPEL altogether than leave it with broken deps like it is now.. (In reply to comment #3) > Unfortunately I don't.. > > Then maybe it would be better to remove it from EPEL altogether than leave it > with broken deps like it is now.. Yes, that's what I will do if I won't find anybody interested soon. I'm interested in it. I've never maintained a package for a distro before, though (just DEBs at my office). I had planned on pursuing maintainership anyway for a xxxterm package I put together. Is that sufficient? Forgive the prior comment, but what I'm stating is that given that I'm already looking into pursing maintainership of a package that I couldn't already find, I know I need to get a mentor (per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers). Even though you're looking to relinquish this package, would you be willing to be the mentor for these or should I continue to look for one?

Sure, make yourself a comaintainer at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/gpodder and you can start with fixing this bug ;) (if you need a help from a superhero with provenmanagers superhuman powers, let me know).

I may need that help. I tried to log in, but was unable to. When trying to reset my password, I got the message: "Your account currently has status admin_disabled. For more information, please contact accounts" I've contacted accounts@ and will try for co-maintainership after things with my account get squared away. Thanks! you can try also #fedora-admin channel on Freenode. Giving up on gpodder in EL-6 I think this bug has a maintenance issue: The current gpodder package ought to be removed from EPEL(/el6) ASAP, at least until a new maintainer can be found for the package. Currently there is no any point in keeping the dependency broken package that won't even install in the repo (at least it wont install on current Centos 6 (most likely not on RHEL6 either). Though I would rather see someone take the maintainship of the package: judging from the comments in this bug it might not be all that much work to at least replace the current gpodder package with a working one from some (old) Fedora distribution (F14?), albeit it would then be an outdated version of gpodder (or maybe the above commneters were wrong). Of course, the best option would be to replace the current gpodder with an reasonably up to date version (if that is at all possible to achieve). Anyway, the current situation does not reflect at all well the EPEL strive for high quality and some action would definitely be needed... (In reply to Tero Nieminen from comment #11) > I think this bug has a maintenance issue: Don't tell what other people should do, tell us what you will do for this bug (thank you, JFK). I've requested commit to this package since I need it for listening to podcast for English studying. Matěj, I think I can solve 50% of this bug, since eyd3 is my package now. I will request a el6 branch of eyd3 today. python-eyed3-0.7.4-1.el6 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 6. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-eyed3-0.7.4-1.el6 Unfortunately, only pymtp 0.0.4 version can be pushed to EPEL6 as from 0.0.5 it requires libmtp 1.1+, so I can only package 0.0.4 to EPEL6. python-pymtp-0.0.4-1.el6 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 6. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-pymtp-0.0.4-1.el6 python-pymtp-0.0.4-1.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 testing repository. python-eyed3-0.7.4-1.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 stable repository. python-pymtp-0.0.4-1.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 stable repository. Hi Nux repo admin, The above packages will be also available in EPEL7 soon, I will build them later. Request some feedback. BTW gpodder need to be rebased to 3.x in rawhide and epel7 IMO, will do this later if you agree.

I have some start on rebasing in http://luther.ceplovi.cz/git/gpodder-pkg.git/ (not finished). Take a look. Fine, thanks for your hard work. I've sent email the owner of gpodder, their answers are vague because 3.x has new structure of files, users will basically lose all their settings and podcasts unless they figure out that there is a gpodder-migrate2tres script which they need to run manually in a shell. But one thing interesting is that gpodder sometimes will ignore the upgrade path results from migration script as well(Debian poor sod...) https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/linux.debian.bugs.dist/flAjU8K_3nA |
