Description Gris Ge 2012-09-18 05:28:14 UTC
Description of problem:

I just steal src rpm from 
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/SRPMS/basket-1.0.3.1-8.el6.src.rpm

Add this line into '%setup' section, compile passed and it works perfect.
====
sed -i \
  '/#include <kdebug.h>/s|$|\n#include <unistd.h>\n#include <sys/types.h>|' \
  src/likeback.cpp
====

Or you can make a small patch.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
missing in repo.

How reproducible:
N/A

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
No basket in F17 repo

Expected results:
basket goes into F17 repo or even rawhide

Additional info:
The kde 4 version of basket 1.8.xxx is still in beta stage. Please keep this old KDE 3 software in repo utile kde 4 or 5 version goes stable.

Thanks.

I could do that. But there is one small problem of concept here: while I am interested in having it in EPEL, I do not have the resources to care for its Fedora counterparts. I do not think that it is correct to push a package just for the sake of having it, without having a maintainer for it.

Comment 2 Gris Ge 2012-09-24 03:33:55 UTC
I use bakset (kde3 version) to store my huge notes (git enabled) everyday.

Will you take it if I take QE work of this package?
I am no Fedora QE yet. If needed, I can follow procedure to apply one.

If you want some one who is using Fedora to take package maintainer work, maybe I can apply for it (no sure whether my boss allow me to do).

BTW:

Manuel, please check 'Need additional information from' below the comment box to send a needinfo to me when you need reply. I got thousands of emails sent from this bugzilla.

Thanks.

Comment 4 manuel wolfshant 2012-09-24 07:54:33 UTC
I have no idea what "QE" means but I can only repeat what I have said before: I am more than willing to take care of the EPEL branches but we need a different maintainer for the Fedora branches. I do not have the time to look over the shoulder of someone else and verify his/her work so a person who is already a Fedora maintainer would be needed.

Comment 5 Gris Ge 2012-09-24 12:22:46 UTC
QE == 'Quality Engineer'

I have no idea how Fedora team handle this. I will close this bug as won't fix.
I am OK to keep a personal compile rpm.

If any Fedora maintainer want it in repo, reopen or clone to new one.

Thanks.
