#10867 Unorphan libesmtp in EPEL
Closed: Fixed 2 years ago by kevin. Opened 2 years ago by jskarvad.

Name of the package?

libesmtp

FAS username of the new maintainer?

jskarvad

Any extra information?

I would like to maintain it in EPEL9 (I will open new ticket requesting the branch once I unorphan it from EPEL) and I am also OK to maintain it in older EPELs. I also wrote the original maintainer to add me as a co-maintainer in Fedora.


Regarding RHEL, there exists branches in the RHEL-9 dist-git, but the package is not shipped anywhere. I asked the person who maintains the package in RHEL and he replied me that there are no plans to ship the package in RHEL-9 thus we can proceed in EPEL9.

hi @jskarvad ,
We have a process to be followed when requesting package in epel. Take a look at this doc https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/ and if you have any trouble feel free to reopen this issue

Hi phsmoura,

sorry, I wasn't able to find anything relevant in the docs you linked. Please see:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libesmtp

There is 'EPEL: orphan'

I want to unorphan in EPEL. I followed [1], there is written:
"click the ✋ Take button in the left column. If the button does not work, submit a ticket to the Release Engineering team"

There is no 'take' button, that's why I opened this ticket.

To be precise I want to unorphan in EPEL-8.

Ah, I see, ok. I misunderstood what you were trying to do here.

I added you as a collaborator for epel* and assigned epel branches to you.

Let us know if you need anything further.
