Description Brian J. Murrell 2017-03-15 12:21:37 UTC
Looks like libnice could use an update to what's currently at https://github.com/tieto/libnice/.

Comment 1 Philip Withnall 2017-03-15 12:56:26 UTC
That’s not the upstream for libnice though.

Upstream libnice is not being maintained actively enough, and so contributions which are coming in from other people are not being reviewed or accepted fast enough (or at all). Something needs to be done to fix upstream.

(I am an upstream contributor, and don’t have any free time to maintain things adequately.)

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:28:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 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, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Brian J. Murrell 2017-11-16 20:25:50 UTC
This has not had any changes since being filed, moving to rawhide.

Comment 4 Brian J. Murrell 2017-11-29 12:09:28 UTC
Is there any reason to not move to 1.1.14 at least instead of heavily patching up the 3-year-old 1.13.0 that is currently in Fedora with a 400KB patch?

Comment 5 Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2018-01-22 19:33:06 UTC
I think Brian is gone and nothing in Fedora Workstation use this library anymore, so would be good if you sent a request to Fedora-devel suggesting the package gets officially orphaned

I believe Christian was talking about Brian Pepple, who is the (non-responsive) maintainer of this package.

Just orphaned this. So, if anyone wants to pick it up, feel free.

Comment 9 David Woodhouse 2018-01-23 10:36:07 UTC
Brian Murrell, do you want it?

> Brian Murrell, do you want it?

I already asked for the ownership of libnice (see bug #1537235 comment #2)
but if more people are willing to help with this, it is even better!

Comment 11 Kamil Dudka 2018-01-29 15:35:18 UTC
We are now updating libnice to the latest upstream release (see bug #1438620).  The repository mentioned in comment #0 is not an upstream repository and it appears outdated anyway.  Closing...
