Hi Kurt,

I'd be happy to help maintain this with you. I've actually been looking for something like Remind for a while now!

Best,
Neil

Remind (https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/) is a terminal based reminder utility (with optional Tk GUI frontend). It's kind of a supercharged version of the calendar utility.

Remind has been in the fedora packages for many years, but the last update to it has happened in fc24 and after fc29 it got orphaned and disappeared. Installing the fc29 RPM on current fedora versions still works flawlessly but is, by now, somewhat out of date.

I'd like to see the package back in the software channels and have updated the SPEC file for fc38 and version 04.02.06 of remind and created a pull request (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/remind/pull-request/2).

A request to unretire the package has been made (https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11740). Doing so I learnt a bit more about the fedora software package world. I'm happy to help and support a package maintainer keeping things up to date and learn more along the way, but taking on the role as maintainer of the package is over the top of my head and my current abilities. So I'd like to ask if somebody was willing to take over the role as official maintainer for the remind package.

Thanks,

Kurt

PS:
An update to the recently released version 04.02.07 is already waiting in my fork:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/kkeller/rpms/remind/commits/remind_04.02.07-0.fc38 but unless somebody is willing to take over maintainership I don't see much use creating another pull request.
