Unretiring abcMIDI
abcMIDI has been actively maintained since 2019 by Seymour Shlien Ottawa, Canada fy...@ncf.ca I am following the procedure to unretire a long retired package. Concern s: 1. Seymour does not have any public version control. I created a github repo that tracks changes. There are about 6 other mirrors - but they have lost interest. https://github.com/sdgathman/abcmidi 2. The GPLv2 license is buried in readme.txt. I added a LICENSE file to my git mirror. Should I include that as a patch? 3. The current SPEC pulls the zip archive posted on Seymours site. I think that is probably correct - as opposed to pointing at my github mirror. I am adding the mirror link to the description. 4. The original package was named abcMIDI. Should I rename to abcmidi? Upstream is a mixture. Must be a Windows shop. :-) I use this package regularly from my personal rpm repo. So at least I have a vested interest! ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

We also have some tooling to check leaf package status and analyze dependency trees, which would also help here. I have some packages depending on indirectly on nodejs things being retired. How do I find out which ones I need to save? ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
