I've recently realised that I am now busy enough to need to prioritise what tasks I undertake. Apart from my research work (PhD and related activities), I'd like to focus my time on NeuroFedora. Therefore, I'm giving up a lot of the packages that I've accrued over the years but no longer use. If any of these interest you, please take them from me. Otherwise, I will orphan them at the end of the month.

I am quite happy to mentor contributors who are not yet packagers to help them learn the necessary skills. You can become a package maintainer by helping to co-maintain packages, as documented here.

I have already e-mailed the devel mailing list, but also post here to ensure sufficient visibility of the note.

Orphaned (inactive upstreams or retired due to broken deps)

  • albumart: was retired, now orphaned
  • gtg: inactive upstream
  • labyrinth: inactive upstream
  • memaker: inactive upstream
  • pyode: dead package, py3ode is available but needs packaging
  • python-inlinestyler: retired, now orphaned
  • scout: inactive upstream
  • toothchart: inactive upstream
  • xword: inactive upstream
