Packages in need of a new maintainer

[Erik van Pienbroek]

Hey,

While preparing win64 support in Fedora a dedicated yum testing
repository was used to provide win64 packages which could be tested. As
win64 support has now arrived in Fedora 17 this dedicated yum testing
repository has become obsolete and will be removed eventually.

Over time various people started to contribute new packages to this
testing repository. As this testing repository won't be updated any more
we're looking for people who want to maintain these new packages in
Fedora. Here is a list of packages which people contributed to the
testing repository but which aren't part of Fedora yet:

mingw-attica:
	Implementation of the Open Collaboration Services API

	Cryptographic functions from GLIBC 2.14

If you're interested in maintaining one of these packages in Fedora feel
free to pull the latest .spec files and patches from [1] and file a
review request ticket for them [2]. Don't forgot to add
fedora-mingw at lists.fedoraproject.org to the CC field of your review
ticket so you can find people to review your packages more soon.

The packages mingw-gstreamer-ffmpeg, mingw-gstreamer-plugins-bad and
mingw-gstreamer-plugins-ugly aren't allowed in the Fedora repos itself
because of legal reasons. If you're interested in maintaining these you
can file a review request in RPMFusion [3] where these packages are
welcome.


Kind regards,

Erik van Pienbroek
