One problem is that weakly maintained packages are often dependencies and libraries. They're weakly maintained because the person packaging them never really cared about them for their own sake, only for some other application which needs them. That application may be strongly maintained, but the various deps only updated when some issue affects that app. I guess the whole thing could go into a COPR in this kind of case, but I'm not sure that's quite right. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
