Non-responsive maintainer check for rmattes / update libQGLViewer to 2.9.1
Hi,
does anyone know how to contact Rich Mattes? They maintain libQGLViewer, which
was last updated five years ago
* Sun Aug 12 2018 Rich Mattes <richmattes(a)gmail.com> - 2.6.4-1
- Update to release 2.6.4, with upstream fix for qreal on armv7 (rhbz#1556028)
- Remove upstream patch and update library names
and there has been no other activity in the package other than automated rebuilds.
I urgently need an update of libQGLViewer to a more modern version, since the
old version of libQGLViewer is causing IQmol builds to fail, and IQmol is at
threat of being removed in a week or so from now due to long-time FTBFS issues
originally caused by the update of OpenBabel to version 3.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2164341
I have since done the work to update the package to version 2.6.4 myself, and
filed a pull request against libQGLViewer to update it to the newest release in
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libQGLViewer/pull-request/1
In addition to these two, I have also tried to reach Rich through
libqglviewer-owner(a)fedoraproject.org, however, I have not received any replies
so far. (Granted, this all happened starting on Wednesday, but February is right
around the corner!)
I would like to get commit rights to libQGLViewer so I can update the package. I
do have provenpackager rights, but this would go over their purview..
The only packages that appear to depend on libQGLViewer, in addition to IQmol,
appear to be skyviewer and octomap, whose maintainers have been copied into this
messages.
