Dear List,
short version:
I'm going to orphan nopaste since rafb.net/paste, which was used by this package, is discontinued (bug #504108). I tried to contact upstream four times and asked if they were planning to switch to another provider, but no avail If someone with ruby skills is able to rewrite nopaste for another pastebin, he/she is welcome to take over the package.
long version:
I'm the maintainer (not a good one) of "nopaste". I was wondering myself that the pasteservice of rafb.net/paste closed on my birthday.
I contacted the upstream of nopaste on the same day (25th May), 3 days later, a week later, and yesterday. I wrote him the situation and my problem (i believe the same problem is in gentoo, too, because they have nopsate, too[didn't find a solution @ gentoo]) and I hint at the urgency. Nothing happened. :-(
Yesterday I got the bug #504108. I can't ruby, so I can't fix it. I took over the review from Phillip Baum, who discarded the idea to become a Fedora packager.
My most important question is: Can anybody wrote the script to fpaste.org or an other pastebin, to continue the life of this package in fedora? I will hand over the package to the guy(s) who can fix this, of course.
I'm really awfully sorry, for orphaning this package with an open bug. :-(

I'm no ruby-ite so I can't fix it for you, but a quick hint: my favourite pastebin, http://www.pastie.org/ , seems to be very Ruby-ish - it's written in RoR, defaults to Ruby syntax, etc - so it would seem like a natural fit here...

I do ruby. I'd be willing to look when I get home today.

woot.!I Was meaning to contact you about this.I already own perl-App-Nopaste whiich can also proveide /usr/bin/nopatse (with lots more possibilities than rafb). More than happy to obsolete/provide (and extend to support fpaste too).
If anyone beats me too it - iwannit!

You can have it. Your solution sounds better.

Taken - for the sole purpose of retiring it gracefully.
I've added a nopaste sub-package to perl-App-Nopaste in devel, F-11, and F-10 that should provide a seamless upgrade for existing users. It supports multiple pastebins and provides redundancy; if one site goes down, it just tries another one.

Thank you very much for your fast help!

Dear Iain,
nopaste is back... http://agriffis.n01se.net/nopaste/nopaste-2.1 you should include this instead of pearl-App-Nopaste.. Can I have this package back? ;-)

the big benefit would be that the package would be alive in epel 4 and 5 again.. sounds good to me. perl-App-Nopaste isn't a good replacement for nopaste as Jason Farell mentoined in Bug #504108 Comment 10 before -- Josephine "Fine" Tannhäuser 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586

I'm happy to see that the ruby nopaste can be revived in EPEL, but I'm not so keen to see it resurrected elsewhere (what happens when pastebin.com goes away? another two month wait for an update?). The major benefit of the perl implementation is that it is resilient to these problems - if one site goes down, it automatically tries a different one.
We've worked to alleviate Jason's concerns: reducing the the size and number of dependencies pulled in by the perl version - there's still a fair few that are necessary, but they're all tiny (apart from perl itself, of course, but pretty much everyone has that already). I don't really see that as much of a problem.

I didn't notice this post until the bugs showed up - I've released ownership (but fab now has it - I guess ownership automatically passes to co-maintainer).
