Hi, sorry for the delayed reply. I will not be able to look into it
before Monday.
[Nearly 2 months later]
I need some advice on how to proceed. I am ready to move the mpfr 4
change forward, but the 2 lines above are the only communication I've
ever had from the package owner. There is already a change page here,
which could be reused with some minor edits:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/mpfr-4.0.0
And that change page links to an existing releng issue where releng
agreed that the only action required by them is management of a side
tag:
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7247
I would like to revive/hijack those to get this moving again. What
should I do about the maintainer, who is probably very busy with other
work? Since gcc uses mpfr, the package is a critical one for Fedora.
If it is not inconsistent with RedHat's goals or policies, could I
perhaps step into a comaintainer role for mpfr?
Since this thread is so old, I will repeat that I have done successful
x86_64 mock builds of all dependent packages. I've got the right
sequence of builds all worked out and ready to go. There may be
problems on other arches; if so, I am ready to fix them.
