Hi all!
This weekend I took a closer look at our wishlist and added a bunch of
(IMHO) popular Fedora packages still missing in EPEL. Then I wrote a
little script that emailed all the owners and co-maintainers asking them
for their EPEL plans regarding the package in question; to track that I
added a status column in the wishlist. See:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/WishList
I plan do to that again now and then in the future -- so if you want to
see a package in EPEL just add it to the wishlist with the status
"unknown" -- then my script (when I run it) will send a mail to the
maintainer.
There are a few packages on the wishlist where the Fedora owner does no
participate in EPEL. And takers for them? Here's the list:
|| bazaar || A distributed revision control system ||
|| chkrootkit || Tool to locally check for signs of a rootkit ||
|| freenx || Free Software (GPL) Implementation of the NX Server ||
|| libsidplay || Commodore 64 music player and SID chip emulator library ||
|| mediawiki || A wiki engine ||
|| mmv || Move/copy/append/link multiple files ||
|| rt3 || Request tracker 3 ||
|| sylpheed || GTK+ based, lightweight, and fast email client ||
