#5237 Orphan packages from sherry151
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by mschwendt.

This needs tracking, or else these packages will still be in Fedora 18 but have been unmaintained since 2010.

To my devel list thread and private mail with the subject "Who knows Rangeen Basu Roy Chowdhury (sherry151)?" I've received this reply:
{{{
Hi Michael

You can say that I have given up contributing to Fedora for a while now. I
think I should go ahead and orphan the packages as I do not have the time
or energy to maintain them any more. Thanks for reminding me.

Status update:

A new status update:
I have now completely taken over gnusim8085, and am now creating and publishing builds for EL5, EL6, F16 and F17.

Yep, progress! Packages archmage, gtick and python-chm have been orphaned. Thanks a lot, sherry151! I've posted about that to devel list.

Meant to close this with the previous comment, because releng help is not needed anymore.

Would be good if the new orphans would be covered by notting's "[ACTION REQUIRED] Retiring packages for Fedora 18" pruning.
