Description Richard Guest 2011-02-17 21:41:56 UTC
The original synergy - http://synergy2.sf.net - and synergy+ - http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/ - have merged back to synergy, but now at http://synergy-foss.org/

Is there work going on to update the fedora packages and release the new upstream version(s)?
They're currently at 1.3.6?

I haven't updated the description section.

In an effort to be helpful, I've attached a patch and an updated spec file which might save some time...

Comment 4 Matthias Saou 2011-07-11 12:08:30 UTC
I've started working on an updated spec file, using your changes as a starting point, but :
 * The http://synergy-foss.org/ seems down at the moment. Not critical, but I wanted to check the online doc and update the %description based on the content.
 * There doesn't seem to be a way to automatically un-retire a package (the "synergy" on in this case), so I've opened a trac ticket for the Release Engineering team : https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4810

Comment 5 Richard Guest 2011-09-04 23:48:00 UTC
Any update on this?

I notice 1.4.x is due out in a month or so and I see there's been a successful build of 1.3.7 for el6 on koji...

Anything I can do to help?

Comment 6 Matthias Saou 2011-09-05 07:20:54 UTC
Well, since synergy had been obsoleted in most branches, I needs to be re-reviewed, and no one has picked up that review yet. It's bug #722843 if you know anyone interested in reviewing it.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 21:31:28 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

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

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:
