I'd be interested in gnuchess and xboard, should they be orphaned. I've been doing a lot with gnuchess in later years.

Hello everybody,

I would like to initiate the non-responsive maintainer process [1] for Christopher Aillon [2]. A long time ago, he used to be part of the Fedora and Red Hat desktop teams. He is no longer around. He left software development and was last seen living off the grid in Hawaii [3]. Therefore I have jumped straight to the fourth step in the aforementioned process.

Here is a list of his packages: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/caillon/

I am particularly interested in xchat, which I want to retire right after removing Chris as the point of contact for his packages.

HexChat [5] is the natural replacement of XChat these days. XChat is dead [6] - the last upstream release was seven years ago [7]. On the other hand, HexChat has been a part of Fedora for the last four years, upstream [4] is involved in both the Fedora [8] and GNOME communities, and I learnt that the MATE spin already ships it by default.

For what it is worth, this was already discussed and approved on desktop@lists.fedoraproject.org [9].

Cheers, Rishi

This is done - caillon has been removed as the point-of-contact for his packages, and xchat has been retired from the f27 and master branches.

Hey,

Unfortunately, you have missed this dependency:

Yes, sorry for missing it initially. However, I emailed konradm@fedoraproject.org last Thursday after you pinged me on IRC.

Thanks for catching this!

Cheers, Rishi
