Crap, I have people here who rely on it.
Sorry to hear that, but it really doesn't make sense for me to keep maintaining it myself. And I was pretty convinced that nobody is using this package as there have been no bug reports from end-users in bugzilla.
But I speak no French at all.
Well, to be honest, I was half-joking about the French part. The developers do speak English, but there is some French traffic on the mailing list.
I don't really want to own it, but I may just have to bodge a local copy.
When you say "each new release", do you mean each new release of Fedora, or each new release of freefem++?
I meant each new release of freefem++. The build process tries to download sources for many external libraries and patches some of them, so you have to work around it.
