Please consider adopting a policy regarding packages which continue to
fail to build from source for a given distribution. These packages
need attention, if only because we have disabled F6 buildroots which
would be necessary to build and fix a bug in such a package package in
the F9 release. I agree with Will Woods' suggestion (pardon if I
mis-attribute) that such cutoff point should be the Beta cut of the
next version of the release.
I own some packages that don't rebuild (in F-9), I was waiting for an
upstream release that didn't came (for libnc-dap, though there was a
release of libdap). I'd prefer if they were kept. I'll take the time to
patch them to rebuild, but I'd prefer doing it only if needed.
