Hi,
I would like to remove the packages that still have broken dependencies
in the F21 tree.
This is a followup to
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-October/203411.html
It makes little sense to ship something that cannot even be installed.
We're about to enter the final freeze next week in order to wrap up F21;
after the gold release is done, fixes can no longer be pushed to the
base repo. This means that anything that shipped with broken
dependencies would stay that way in the base repo throughout the F21
lifetime.
To avoid that, I'll file a FESCo ticket next Monday to approve dropping
the following packages, unless they get fixed first:
...
gedit-valencia
Upstream (Yorba) has been aware of the breaking API changes in Gedit
3.12, but unfortunately lacks the manpower to fix it. There's a patch
submitted in September that laid dormant, and unfortunately changes
between Gedit 3.12 and 3.14 cause additional breakage.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724173
Unfortunately I don't have the time to devote to fixing this, so I'm
pushing a final update for the Fedora 20 branch of gedit-valencia
(containing some test patches that can be applied to get the codebase to
compile on Fedora 21) but releasing ownership for F21 and master.
Any Vala / GObject / Gedit maven willing to take this package up?
Best regards,
