As already explained by others, this has been announced in various places including the devel list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-October/190696.html We (the graphics team), have decided to stop supporting the old non kms drivers (except for the vesa driver), but this does not mean that we will block community members from picking them up and maintaining them (for now, in the future not being kms capable may really become a blocker). Actually when announcing this we've explicitly asked for community members to step up. Are you already a Fedora packager ? If you are you can walk through: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers#Claiming_Ownership_of_a_Retired_Package If you are not and you are willing to become a packager, please read: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers I'm willing to act as a sponsor for new-packagers interested in re-introducing (some of) the old drivers. You can use the re-review required to re-introduce a retired package as a package for your first review. Please also create at least 1 truly new package from scratch (*), so that I get a change to see your packaging skills before sponsoring you. Regards, Hans *) if you've nothing you want to see packaged yourself, then see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainers_wishlist -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
