Is there any interest in continuing to support conductor / aeolus-cli in Fedora? The packages are currently broken there and from what I gather the team's been more focused on development and releasing gems recently. Unless there are any objections, I will retire the packages. If there is demand for support in Fedora in the future, we can easily loop back around then.
While I'm sorry to see them go, I think it's the best course of action. They've been broken for a long time, and I think that having broken packages is considerably worse than having no packages. If someone were committed to maintaining them, they've been MIA for months.
I vote to pull them from Fedora, but to maybe think as we go forward about maybe continuing to package RPMs, just not in Fedora. The pure-Ruby approach / dev-tools approach is great for developers, but I'm not sure how well it will work for people wanting to run Aeolus "for real."

Yeah -- not only that, the list of conductor deps that are not in fedora has grown as well (tim, ldap_fluff, (shortly) alberich, etc.), so getting the packages working wouldn't just be a matter of fixing them, but also a matter of getting new dependencies into fedora at the same time.
