How can I take jna-posix? I need it for one of my projects but I don't see a way to take it in pkgdb. I'm speaking for the devel branch because it is possible to take F-12 branch.
jna-posix has been retired rather than simply orphaned. Walters, was there a reason for that or is it simply that the package has sat around for long enough that it needs a re-review?
To be honest it's been long enough I don't recall; is there no way to find out why a package was retired?
It should be in dead.package in the devel branch, if it was retired properly.
No dead.package file. I do see that the last time the spec was updated minus mass rebuilds was 2008. So it does need a re-review before being unorphaned. That's a reason for it to be retired atm.
So to unretire: Check out the package using: cvs co -d :ext:USERNAME@cvs.fedoraproject.org/cvs/pkgs jna-posix cd jna-posix/devel Update the spec file to make sure it meets current packaging guidelines. Submit for a review following: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process
When done, open a cvsadmin request (and mention that it's a review of a retired package). Then you'll be assigned as owner.
