The following 30 packages, with respective FTBFS bugs, have been open since the Fedora 11 time frame, and continue to fail to build. These are the oldest non-building packages in the distribution, everything else (over 8800) managed to build for Fedora 12 or newer already.
At today's FESCo meeting, it was agreed that all the below packages would be marked orphan.
Well, if FESCO thinks this was a good idea ... I think you guys stopped half-ways: You better should have launched AWOL-processes against these maintainers.
I know several of these have been fixed by provenpackagers already - you are welcome to un-orphan and maintain them going forward, or the original package owner may choose to do so.
Unfortunately, this has proven to be hard/impossible so far.
perl-Class-InsideOut-1.09-2.fc11.src.rpm https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=539136
I intended to take this one, but the packagedb doesn't offer me an option to take it:
C.f.: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/perl-Class-InsideOut
This package appears to be owned by owner "orphan" and doesn't offer the "Take Ownership" button, I see on packages listed on https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/orphans otherwise.
