Dear all,

Does someone know how to contact Cheese ?
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/cheese

I have tried to join him by the bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585817


He has two packages in updates-testing:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584966
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/R-bitops

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584974
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/R-combinat

I am willing to take over these two packages.



Regards,

Pierre

I am still interested by these packages and nobody has reacted for a
week on how to contact Cheese.

What would be the next step ? A ticket of the Trac of Fesco ?

Thanks,

It takes three weeks which can be frustrating, the initial "can we
push this update to testing" might count as the initial ticket
creation, dropping it down to 2 weeks from here...

If we include the absence of reaction in this review:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585817
(last comment on Mai 08th) then we are over these 3 weeks.

No, it might not, at least that's not my reading of the policy. If you want
to have the policy changed, you should submit to FESCo a revision of the
policy (rewritten in good english, something like:

the days count starts from the first time the maintainer didn't answer
requests, and not the time of filling the comment starting the
non-responsive maintainer procedure.

Yeah, just depends if pinging on those tickets is sufficient. In which case

"After another 7 days (now 3 weeks total), the reporter posts a formal
request to the fedora-devel list with the bug link, indicating all
reasonable efforts have been made to contact the maintainer have
failed and that they wish to take over the package."

Someone from FESCo will hopefully respond to this email thread...

You can use the "fast track procedure" here, imho, because "the
maintainer has been non responsive for a long time, but the above
procedure has never been completed":
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers#Fast_ Track_procedure

Afaics there have been several tries to contact him already:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585817#c4

But it would be better to collect all these contact attempts in the
FESCo ticket.

sorry for being offline. had some longer trouble in real life and am now
wading through lots of mails which piled up since some weeks.

pushed that package.

what is the correct way for being unavailable?
is a vacation message ok, or would we spam our mailinglists?
as far as i remember vacation would leave mails from vacation-lists
alone, though.

Welcome back.

If you are unavailable for a long time (e.g. longer than two weeks) it
is imho best to announce it on the mailing list. Also if there are
unhandled issues, it is better to ask for help here even on a shorter
vacation. Also there is a wiki page to document absence:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Vacation
