Note: They seem to have privately indicated that they no longer wish to maintain packages for Fedora, but there's no public record of this.

They specifically mentioned that they no longer have time for containerd and moby-engine, but I assume that they also aren't interested in the rest of them. I can paste the email somewhere if you really want.

@olem Are you still interested in maintaining any Fedora packages?

@olem ping?

Hi all,

Sorry for the late reply, I just saw my email notifications.

As I said privately, I don't want to continue maintaining moby-engine and containerd.

However, I'd like to continue maintaining the other packages, I should have some time this week to work on Fedora packaging.

However, I'd like to continue maintaining the other packages

Which packages specifically would you like to continue maintaining?

As I said privately, I don't want to continue maintaining moby-engine and contained.

I've orphaned those for now.

@olem can you please indicate which packages you'd want to continue maintaining? Some have been broken for so long that they've been orphaned, retired, fixed, and picked up by other packagers in the meantime ...

@olem, ping again

Which packages specifically would you like to continue maintaining?

The reason I asked this in the first place is because a good amount of the packages @olem maintains (see my mailing list post about this) are libraries for moby-engine and containerd which he said he didn't want to maintain. So, I'm not sure what should be done with those...

Hi,

As @gotmax23 suggested, I think I should officially drop the packages that are libraries for moby-engine and containerd.

I'd like to continue maintaining:
- apache-cloudstack-cloudmonkey
- golang-github-jsonnet-bundler
- open-policy-agent and its dependencies (golang-github-yashtewari-glob-intersection and golang-uber-automaxprocs)
- golang-github-kyokomi-emoji
- the rust packages (part of an effort to package cranelift / wasmtime)

Note that, while I initially continued your effort to package wasmtime, I eventually had to abandon it due to unresolved legal issues. So you might want to drop your remaining Rust packages as well, since they are now mostly unused, and will not be used for wasmtime any time soon.

@churchyard To wrap this up, can you orphan everything except the stuff mentioned in grandparent comment?

I will do that, but I guess the primary motivation here was the rust packages :/

Ok, I'm asking again: @olem

The effort to package wasmtime was abandoned due to unresolved legal / licensing questions in some components, and the existing packages were already retired from Fedora 37, because they started to fall apart - not getting any responses from you on FailsToBuild / FailsToInstall bugs for weeks or months.

The Rust packages in this list that are still in use have been maintained and kept up-to-date exclusively by me, for a while. Given that a wasmtime package will not happen for Fedora in the foreseeable future, do you still want to keep maintaining the handful of your Rust packages that remains?

Given your last response here (you want to keep maintaining them because you wanted wasmtime packaged for Fedora), I don't think this is the case, so please confirm whether it would be OK for these packages to be transferred to me, as I have already taken over their maintenance in practice.

Hi @decathorpe ,

Again sorry.
I'm totally ok ti transfer these rust packages to you.

@decathorpe Is there anything else we can do here? Should I transfer some packages to you?

I think there are some Rust packages left - it would probably be good to transfer them to me, as indicated two comments above this one.

@churchyard please see last comment.

I commented here: "Please, give me an explicit list of packages." 9 days ago. But some Pagure gremlins ate my comment.
