What's the typical process for packages like these that have already been built, but not updated for new versions? I didn't see anything about this on the wiki page for becoming a package maintainer. Specifically here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers#Ensure_the_software_you_wish_to_package_is_suitable
Looks like it was orphaned previously: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/compton
I am posting here as I am willing to package this (rather then opening a new review request)
The process for claiming ownership of retired packages is explained here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life#Unretire_a_Package https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers [...] The review process is explained here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process Basically, anyone can contribute a review based on the Review Guidelines, but only members of the packager group may approve packages finally. And in case of the package submitter not being a packager yet, here's the process: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group [...] What's up with bug 999732 with regard to the snapshot in this package? [...] A few relevant links: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Package_Versioning * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Desktop_files [...] Consider pointing the fedora-review tool at this ticket: fedora-review -b 1051688 It downloads the latest spec file and src.rpm from the "Spec URL:" and "SRPM URL:" lines it can find and performs many helpful checks on them, involving a local test-build, too. [...] How does -DCOMPTON_VERSION="\"git--\"" related to Version: 0.1_beta2.%{git_hash} in the package? Also, latest package published at Fedora is: compton-0-0.3.20121218g75aec17.fc19 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=14237 Why does this new package set "Epoch"? [...] Has there been no new release since 2014-01-10? [...] Some minimum interest in "compton" provided, it should be easier for multiple people to perform self-reviews and offer maintained packages for potential sponsors.
This is an automatic check from review-stats script. This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the NEEDINFO flag. You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group. Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned and will be closed. Thank you for your patience.
This is an automatic action taken by review-stats script. The ticket submitter failed to clear the NEEDINFO flag in a month. As per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_stalled_package_reviews we consider this ticket as DEADREVIEW and proceed to close it.
