Hello all,
I'm hoping to become the maintainer of an orphaned package (gr-iio, GNU Radio blocks for Analog Devices platforms) but I need some sponsorship to become a package maintainer. The releng team recommended that I send a message on this list to hopefully find someone.
I'm a software engineer and I've built a few .rpm's and .deb's over the years, so I'm already pretty capable at putting together a package. I would love for the opportunity to give back to the Fedora community, and to improve and unorphan a few packages.
Regarding the gr-iio package, I already know what needs to be done in order to bring it up to speed and compiling on the new Fedora versions, so it wouldn't be too much effort or take too long to get the new version of the package ready.
Regards, Isaac
Hi Isaac,
as gr-iio has been retired more than 8 weeks ago, a new review is required [1]. You should fill a new package review request, mentioning that you need a sponsor and that the ticket is about un-retiring a package. See the wiki at [2] for all the steps to perform.
Regards Mattia
