This is not the right list for those discussions. The right list is
fedora development list. You can also use the per-package mail alias,
it will go to all the co-maintainers of a package.

Other than that, I fully agree that an update to grass 6.4.0 would clearly
be right.

Hi

I would like to co-maintain gdal and grass packages. I am working on
Fedora GIS spin:

We need to fix some issues in the above packages:

gdal : we care not shipping the jnis, java is broken and need to fix
grass : A very old GRASS version is packaged, it lacks more than 9000
fixes and enhancements with respect to the current stable version
which is GRASS 6.4.0

Please share your thoughts

Thanks
Viji

Unfortunately GIS stack in Fedora needs love, especially in comparison
with other popular distributions, so I'm welcoming you. Upgrading
GRASS looks like a good idea for me, since I've heard a lot of
complaints about outdated GRASS from members of Russian GIS community.
