Hi,
I just noticed that the packages for the sevctl utility were orphaned. Its addition to Fedora was widely publicized at the time, because we were the first (?) distribution to include tools for working with AMD SEV. It looks like ckuehl left Red Hat (?), and their packages were orphaned as a result of that? It's hard for an "outsider" to know or check what's going on inside Red Hat.
Yes, unfortunately Red Hat employee changes aren't easily visible to those outside Red Hat, except through inference such as the orphaning you saw.
If those tools are still deemed useful (at least the upstream enarx project on GitHub seems to still be active), I'll pick up rust-sevctl and its dependencies for the Rust SIG.
I'm likely to end up on the hook for sevctl in RHEL / CentOS stream as part of our virtualization stack, so makes sense for me to be a maintainer in Fedora too. I'm always happy if packages have more than one maintainer though to remove single points of failure.
Good to know. If you end up picking up those packages, feel free to add the Rust packages to the @rust-sig group.
Was there more than just the rust-sevctl package that is relevant here ? (I've not thought about any build deps-chain yet)
