Hi all,

Somehow I am having trouble reaching the mailing list. I would like to suggest to add pam_mount and it's dependencies: libHX and hxtools to EPEL7. I have run tests which indicate that the packages from the fedora package git repository should just work. I can volunteer to be the maintainer or co-maintainer for these packages.

A testbuild for libHX is here:  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9577684

Best regards,

Marco van Leeuwen

Greetings,

A few months ago the package 'lis' disappeared from EPEL6. This was very
sad for me. The version that was there fit my needs but apparently the
package got orphaned and removed leaving me with nothing at all.

Since EPEL7 first started, I have been eagerly awaiting a few packages.
Everything but terminator is now in EPEL7. I have a lot of
customizations done to terminator and not having it messes with me
enough that I have yet to switch to any form/variant of RHEL7 at all
simply because I can't stand trying to do my work on a normal terminal
shell. :-) Now, I see that EPEL7 is listed as approved for terminator
and has been for a while, but I still don't see the package in the
repositories. I don't know what it means to be approved but not in the
repos...

What do these two things have in common? The fact that I have tried on
several occasions to reach out to the developers inquiring about the
packages. I don't know if the emails I got out of those fedoraproject
links are not used/watched, or if I got filtered, or if gmail is just
routing my sent/received emails to /dev/null again...

I was trying not to be an nuisance on the list inquiring about package
status' all of the time so I thought I would reach out to the devs.
However, I have sent a few emails with zero response at all (I don't
know if they even got my emails) and I _really_ don't want to be a
nuisance by spamming the dev's email. I appreciate their work too much
to have any desire to be a nuisance! :-D

I poked around on the website and search a bit on the mailing-list but I
didn't find anything on the most appropriate way to contact devs outside
of the generic IRC/mailing list approach. So I thought I would ask here.

When I have a question about the status of a package, what is the best
way to contact that package maintainer? Should I have just been
submitting my questions to the list the whole time?


Thanks!
