Re: [EPEL-devel] What is the best way to contact package maintainers?

Greetings, A few months ago the package 'lis' disappeared from EPEL6. This was very sad for me. The version that was there fit my needs but apparently the package got orphaned and removed leaving me with nothing at all. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/lis/ Since EPEL7 first started, I have been eagerly awaiting a few packages. Everything but terminator is now in EPEL7. I have a lot of customizations done to terminator and not having it messes with me enough that I have yet to switch to any form/variant of RHEL7 at all simply because I can't stand trying to do my work on a normal terminal shell. :-) Now, I see that EPEL7 is listed as approved for terminator and has been for a while, but I still don't see the package in the repositories. I don't know what it means to be approved but not in the repos... https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/terminator/ What do these two things have in common? The fact that I have tried on several occasions to reach out to the developers inquiring about the packages. I don't know if the emails I got out of those fedoraproject links are not used/watched, or if I got filtered, or if gmail is just routing my sent/received emails to /dev/null again... I was trying not to be an nuisance on the list inquiring about package status' all of the time so I thought I would reach out to the devs. However, I have sent a few emails with zero response at all (I don't know if they even got my emails) and I _really_ don't want to be a nuisance by spamming the dev's email. I appreciate their work too much to have any desire to be a nuisance! :-D I poked around on the website and search a bit on the mailing-list but I didn't find anything on the most appropriate way to contact devs outside of the generic IRC/mailing list approach. So I thought I would ask here. When I have a question about the status of a package, what is the best way to contact that package maintainer? Should I have just been submitting my questions to the list the whole time? Thanks! ~Stack~ _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list epel-devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel
