fas username: @davidcl package: jrosetta issues to fix: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1735893 nonresponsive maintainer bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1782622 fedora-devel mail: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/7XDNLMAJLLXHPXXGTEQ44LG7JDBETJIZ/ comainainers: additional notes: The jrosetta package can be fixed by adding a single BuildRequires. The scilab package depends on this, and will be orphaned in February if still FTBFS.
This is a ticket for the Fedora's Policy for nonresponsive package maintainers.
Thanks.

jrosetta is retired. if you wish to take it, follow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers#Claiming_Ownership_of_a_Retired_Package
Do you want to continue this procedure with any other packages @davidcl is to be neglecting?
Thanks @churchyard. I'll do that.
It looks like a number of his other packages are dependencies of scilab, so I am happy to take them also.
Could you please provide a list of packages you are taking about and preferably also issues to fix?
Agreed that I am not interested on maintaining packages on Fedora anymore. I owned Scilab and some of its dependencies. @orion might also be interested on co-maintaining some.
The list is as follows:
There is also the FTBFS jeuclid package, but a fix is possible, and the old maintainer @bashton has responded at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1785011.
It may look a bit hairy at first, but I think it's worth it. I'll update this as I find out more.
On scirenderer, it used to be a dependency but is now included within scilab itself. Can be removed.
Great, thanks @davidcl.

FWIW - I'm swamped and really don't want to take on any more items than I have to.
