Hello,
Some more misc packages I'd like to orphan.
I orphaned only devel. I'd like to remain co-maintainer. I'd prefer also be only co-maintainer for other branches, but obviously only if somebody volunteer to be the primary maintainer. So if you want to be maintainer, please state for which branches. Some already have co-maintainers, they should have priority for ownership.
In my opinion gnash and tetex-tex4ht are strategic packages for Fedora and if nobody steps up a kind of collective maintainance should be organized.
* gnash People interested in gnash should also take agg and flasm, in my opinion. They should also help reviewing ming: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=232790 And also mtasc, I added it to the wishlist and made a srpm here: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/mtasc-1.13-0.1.cvs04062... ming and mtasc are used for tests. (and also swftools, but I think that swftools packaging is still out of reach for now). * flasm * agg
The OpenDAP server stack (an interested maintainer should take them all... and maybe package olfs, the hyrax front-end): * bes * dap-server * dap-freeform_handler * dap-hdf4_handler * dap-netcdf_handler
* tetex-tex4ht It should be renamed tex-tex4ht. There is a system of 2 level sources. Literal sources are included, but second level sources are really used. With the debian packager, and with upstream, we collaborated on a debian script that can be used to rebuild the second level sources from the literate sources.
* elektra
* wdm There is the Consolekit issue. I hope that it would be fixed one day?
It is an interesting package in my opinion since it looks good while being very lightweight. Trouble is that upstream is dead and so is not resyncing with xdm, so retiring this package may unfortunatly be the best thing to do.
* debootstrap I should not be the primary maintainer, but only a co-maintainer, don't know how I became primary maintainer.
Those perl modules are very low maintainance: * perl-File-NFSLock * perl-Cache * perl-Feed-Find * perl-Heap * perl-HTML-FormatText-WithLinks * perl-LWP-Authen-Wsse
* html2ps This is an a2ps dependency. There are unresolved bugs that can be seen in debian, but overall it works fine and is pretty dead upstream so is very low maintainance.
* pmount Very low maintainance
* pam_ssh Very low maintainance
Very low maintainance dead upstream packages * intuitively * ooo2txt * libnet10 Though libnet10 is an older version of a dead package, there are certainly some codes not in fedora that still use that api, for example some stuff here: http://www.stearns.org/doc/pcap-apps.html It is properly parallel installable with libnet so in my opinion should stay indefinitely (or as long as it builds). * libnet There are a lot of people wanting to have shared libraries for this one. I always resisted for the reasons stated in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pertusus#On_not_shipping_shared_librarie... especially in that case I think that at some point somebody will resurect libnet since, as far as I know there is no replacement.

Taken by Robert Scheck.
libnet10 is still to be taken.
Taking libnet10 as well, a package of a friend depends on this, I saw some days ago. Luckily I've not to put it into Fedora, when it already exists there...

Dmitry who was co-maintainer from the start already took it. But more co-maintainers shouldn't hurt, just apply.

I'm taking gnash and its dependencies agg and docbook2X. It's still the only Free (if not the only) Flash plugin which works in Konqueror and I was the one who got the KDE 4 port built, so I was already a de-facto comaintainer if not maintainer.
Still, any comaintainers are welcome, anybody interested should just request it through pkgdb.
As for flasm, it's not really a dependency of gnash, is it? I think somebody actually interested in Flash authoring should take that one.

Do you want the F9 and F10 branches of all those packages?

It is not strictly a dependency, but it may be needed to be able to debug gnash. What is interesting, indeed, is the possibility to disassemble a swf to understand what is in it. I brought it in fedora because I needed it for a bug report, and I saw it used more than once for gnash debugging on the gnash mailing list.
Si it is not strictly needed, but convenient. It guess that it is also of some interest for swfdec.

If you want to orphan those too, sure, just orphan them and tell me and I'll grab them.

OK: is really nobody else interested in flasm? In that case I'll pick it up just to save this debugging tool from getting removed, one package more or less isn't going to change my workload drastically.

Done.
There are some opened bugs. Most of them are already reported upstream.

I orphaned also the F9 and F10 branches.
This package will certainly never be updated again upstream, so it should be very low maintainance.
