gpx-viewer status?

[Michael Schwendt]

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/2011-February/568075.ht...

Package gpx-viewer in Fedora 15 has been retired by fab
Package gpx-viewer in Fedora 14 has been retired by fab
Package gpx-viewer in Fedora 13 has been retired by fab

Couldn't find any announcement for that.
The files in pkg git are still there. No dead.package file.
Couldn't find a releng ticket for this either.

Please complete the package end-of-life procedure,

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/PackageEndOfLife

and don't keep broken+retired packages in the dist like this.
Thank you!

I have just started to use gpx-viewer. ;-) I know that it is not too
stable, but according to its bzr repository the author still submit
patches occasionally...

Is there a good alternative for just viewing gpx files embedded in
openstreemap maps?

Otherwise I would volunteer to take care of this package in Fedora...

Best regards,
Christian

Attached to this email is a patch against the bzr trunk that gets the
code building and running on gtk3 + champlain-0.10 + unique-3.0 +
gdl-3.0. Note that the resulting program is not by any means stable, but
this should be a good start for someone who wanted to take care of
getting this thing running again.
