Description Robert Scheck 2011-06-04 16:58:04 CEST
I would like to have latest unrar in EL-6. If the package maintainer
doesn't want to (or can't) take care, I would maintain unrar on EL-6.

Comment 1 Robert Scheck 2011-06-04 17:00:27 CEST
Bah, I think the owners file vs. reality doesn't seem to be in sync, thus my
"Updated RPMFusion Owners" might be wrong. However, I would like to get co-
maintainer if needed.
Comment 2 Conrad Meyer 2011-06-04 17:15:53 CEST
I have no interest in EL-6 -- robert's welcome to it.
Comment 3 Robert Scheck 2011-06-07 19:12:44 CEST
Sorry, the branching was IMHO done the wrong way, it happened on free, while
it should have happened on nonfree. Now there are two empty branches (devel,
EL-6) if I checkout free. But EL-6 is still missing on nonfree tree...
Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2011-06-07 23:41:09 CEST
9647 (unrar): Build on target el-6-rpmfusion_nonfree succeeded.
Comment 5 Robert Scheck 2011-08-02 02:14:16 CEST
If there is no objection, I would like to get co-maintainer on EL-5, too. And
as http://rpmfusion.org/Contributors still lacks a good template, I don't know
what to copy in here...maybe this?

Well,
Please remind that there is an silent ABI break with your EL-6 update.
This sound very unfair if any third part want to rely on our version of libunrar.

I will create an EL-5 branch ASAP.
Comment 7 Nicolas Chauvet 2011-08-27 14:42:22 CEST
There is already an EL-5 branch. And given the previous comment is it really wise to update it there ?
Comment 8 Robert Scheck 2011-09-12 23:52:55 CEST
Nope, you are right, it doesn't make sense for EL-5. Sorry!
