Created attachment 1364110 [details] Original Hamster Current Hamster is not usable in Fedora 26. No Stop/Start buttons, no tray icon. Probably many others bugs. Also project is not maintained as said in README and last commit was in 2016. See repo on github for details: https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster. I tried to use fork https://github.com/gsobczyk/hamster. Seems it works fine and it live, latest commit was 10 days ago. Can we use this for package in Fedora?

Hrm, I don't have an opinion on this. What do the other maintainers think? Are we going to replace hamster-time-tracker with the new bits (-cli,-gtk, and so on) in the long term, or will those be separate packages etc.?
Not sure if replacing the Fedora package by a fork is the best idea (unless the fork developers and the hamster2 developer are coordinating so that data upgrade etc is possible). I'd suggest reaching out to both upstreams to check on their compatibility story with regards to each other. Otherwise Fedora might end up in a world of incompatible data+hurt (even though the "hamster2" upgrade left Fedora in a pretty bad state anyway)...
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle. Changing version to '28'.
Upstream is active, see latest commits to GitHub. No need to use a fork.
https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/releases/tag/v2.1.1 Are there any plans to update?
Not really. As upstream also clearly mentions in the readme, hamster is undergoing a major re-write. I intend to orphan this when I have the time. If anyone would like to take over and maintain this "maintenance release", please apply for co-maintainership.
Sadly. I remember to have orphaned this package (and other packages) for the same reason.
I have orphaned this package. Closing. When the re-write is complete, someone who uses it can package it up again.
