I'll take co-maintainer to assist Alex as she comes up to speed. I maintained the "cluster" package in Fedora up until it was retired in F16. I'm a little rusty now, but shorewall is a fairly simple package and we already maintain a repo of our own, so I expect little trouble. digimer On 17/12/15 10:48 AM, Alex Bruneau wrote: > I am new to package maintaining, but Alteeve's Niche uses Shorewall in one of our offerings, and I'd be happy to take it on. Our tech lead is available to assist as well. Thank you for all of your work on the package!

Alex (nick is 'nyz', yes) just setup her account today. I'll chat with her tomorrow about setting up on FAS.

If you have the cycles, please take it. I would be happy to be co-maintainer though. This would have been my first package, so it's probably smarter if I helped someone with experience rather than try to do it myself. :)

Please do add yourself to the ACLs and we can work on maintaining it together. I have updated it locally and will test it once I am back home at the end of this week. After that I will update it to 5.x in rawhide only for now. cheers, Michele

You should not orphan packages in rawhide, not cause of "not used any more". Check upstream for activity and users. What about future security patches? To retire shorewall is obviously a bad idea. I would be happy to see someone to take and continue shorewall maintainership, at least in rawhide. But I do not feel competent enough to do it by myself.
