Since you are the one whose basically stepped in over the last couple
of years while I've gone dark I thought you'd like to know. I'm going
to formally close out my fedora contributor stuff.

Multiple month long stints off the grid makes it impossible to keep
up. I just need to close out the fedora contribution stuff formally
now as my account and privs are efffectively dead in that space.

Unfortunately it looks like he never orphaned his packages. I emailed him again privately but have not yet heard back. In the past he's been in places like Antarctica without net access for a while and perhaps he is again.


From the email reply it looks like maintainer has almost decided not to contribute further to Fedora. Then its five months now since that reply. I think we can orphan jspaleta's packages. +1.

I agree with pnemade on this. +1 from me, too.

  • AGREED: Orphan jspaleta's packages (+7, 0, -0) (jwb, 18:12:25)

And it's done. Mailed devel list on it as well.
