Lately Fedora has gone in a direction I don't much agree with so I will be doing the honorable thing and departing the project rather than hindering it's progress. As a result the following packages are up for grabs:
banshee --
easily import, manage, and play selections from your music collection
beagle --
The Beagle Search Infrastructure
gnome-do --
Quick launch and search
ipod-sharp --
Support for high level features of Apple's iPod
libipoddevice --
Device-specific layer for the Apple iPod
ndesk-dbus --
Managed C# implementation of DBus
ndesk-dbus-glib --
Provides glib mainloop integration for ndesk-dbus
podsleuth --
Probes, identifies, and exposes properties and metadata bound to iPods
A warm thank you to those who should elect to give these new homes.
- David

He's explained on his blog, we don't need to dredge that back up on this
mailing list, imo.

Hi,
If it is your decision to quit Fedora we respect your decision. But I
hope that could you please explain what you dislike about the direction
of Fedora so that we may try to work on it?

*I don't think that is the right thing to do, but it's not just one thing.. call it growing apart, I wish you all the best of luck though.

Orphaning my packages
Hi,
I have orphaned my unsupported packages as I will no longer be using Arch.
I don't agree with Arch's reluctance to fix bugs which they consider
upstream. I recently installed Mandriva on one of my systems and was
amazed to see all the features that are broken in Arch's GNOME, due to
them being upstream bugs, fully working in that distribution.
As my principle reason for using GNU/Linux is to get work done and
Arch's philosophy seems, to me, to be working against this I feel it is
time to depart from Arch.
My packages were:
* asl
* bouml
* freehdl
* gnome-hearts
* subcommander
Regards,
Neil Darlow

Why don't use stop using GNOME instead and complain on their mailing
list? Don't get me wrong, this is not intended to be an aggressive email
at all, but if the bug is upstream... well, it's upstream fault.

I totally agree with Alessio. we should start patching large pieces of
software ourselves. We have neither the resources nor the philosophical interest
to do that.
