Hello -- I'm the current Fedora maintainer for libffi, as well as

upstream author/maintainer. I'm looking for help with libffi
packaging. Specifically, we need to roll out a new ABI-breaking
release (required for ARM64 and Intel CET support), and I don't have
the volunteer time available to create the requisite compat packages,
monitor all of the rebuilds, etc. It would be best if this person
had some Fedora packaging experience under their belt, given some of
the complexities involved and the criticality of libffi to the whole
platform.
While API/ABI breaking changes within a release is discouraged, it's still
might be the right thing to do. You could create a side tag and make sure
all dependent packages have been rebuilt or ported over first, and them
merge them back in with a single bodhi update.
Thanks,
Richard
