Hello,
My name is Theo Papadopoulo. I use linux based systems since 1996 and
redhat/fedora ones since so long I do not quite remember (2005-2007?).
Fedora is used within the research group (and actually with the research
institute where I am) I belong to as the main computing platform. I'm
participating in some specialized open source project you may not even
know (OpenMEEG, OpenViBE or medInria) and occasionally helped in some
more widespread - to somne extent - ones (blitz, matio, xtensor). I even
have a very minor contribution to gcc years ago....
Given this context, I often maintain a set of rpms for the group I
belong. Very often those are packages that we need internally. But
sometimes, this is just to cope with some orphaned fedora packages I'd
like to give back to the community if possible....
All the best,
And to reply to myself, here are (just the specs) of two packages I'd
like to un-retire. The first one is liblsl which is updated just a few
days ago and which was orpaned very recently). The second one itpp was
orphaned quite some time ago, and maybe about 1 year ago I had some
review on a new itpp spec file that probably needs to be updated now.
Those are the two packages I'd like to see back in fedora. I'd prefer to
co-maintain them if possible (for itpp I suspect they is no longer a
packager, for liblsl the packager seems to have been unresponsive to all
messages prior to the retiring of the package). If not, if someone could
sponsor me, I will try to do my best to regularly update those two....
which should not belong to any critical path as they are retired (so I
guess there is little risk for me to harm the whole distribution).
Regards,
Theo.
