Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. search for linuxdcpp
  
Actual results:

no package is found

Expected results:

package should be present in the repositories

Additional info:

All previous versions of fedora contained the linuxdcpp package which is one of the few working clients of the direct connect protocol.

It would be great if we have the package in the repositories

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2011-10-10 17:34:23 UTC
Packages are only included in Fedora if there is a willing maintainer for them; linuxdcpp doesn't have one at the moment, so it was removed.

For information on how existing Fedora packagers can bring the package back, see:
