Hello folks,
Following up on the steps provided by the documentation [1], I would like to announce
that I am willing to unretire the package rust-starship [2]. I use this app on a daily
basis, and it seems like the previous maintainer is no longer interested in keeping the
package, so I would like to take over the ownership.
I will follow up on the remaining steps within the next few hours.
Please, let me know if there is anything else I should know about.
Thank you.
Hi!
Great to see that you're interested in resurrecting the starship
package. However, maintaining it and keeping it up-to-date in Fedora
requires a substantial amount of time, so you'd either have to
familiarize yourself with Rust packaging (and most likely assume
responsibility for ~a dozen library dependencies).
The previous maintainer is a seasoned Fedora packager and didn't have
the capacity to do that, so I'm not sure it's a good starting point
for you:

If you'd like to use starship packages for Fedora, there's a COPR with
unofficial packages (maintained by the same packager who originally
maintained the package in Fedora) that should work fine but are built
in a way that's not allowed for official Fedora packages:
