Description Artem S. Tashkinov 2023-02-12 20:56:10 UTC
It has no upstream maintainer and critical errors like these:

https://github.com/galculator/galculator/issues/56
https://github.com/galculator/galculator/issues/49
https://github.com/galculator/galculator/issues/40

mate-calc is a perfect replacement.

Comment 1 Artem S. Tashkinov 2023-06-29 10:20:23 UTC
Looks like Fedora has no maintainer for this package either.

Comment 2 Artem S. Tashkinov 2024-05-01 20:48:33 UTC
Apparently no one cares. OK.

Comment 3 Artem S. Tashkinov 2024-05-01 20:48:57 UTC
What's the policy for abandoned packages in Fedora?

Comment 4 Tomáš Mráz 2024-05-02 06:53:17 UTC
Except mate-calc does not support RPN mode.

Comment 5 Aoife Moloney 2024-05-07 15:57:01 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 38 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 38 on 2024-05-21.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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
'version' of '38'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 38 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Everyone is content with an application which miscalculates. OK.
