Hi all,

I am currently maintaining freeminda and various other related dependencies in fedora.
I am now working full-time and not a student any more, so the time I could devote to work on packaging is reduced a lot.
This is not a problem with packages where you have an easy upstream, which is not the case for most of my Java packages.
Therefore I am not going to have the time, to put enough effort into packaging up the new version of freemind and adopt all the changes upstream made to plugins and various other parts of the package.

This is why I am looking for someone who would like to take over these packages and work on them. I am not going to orphan them straight away but if I am not able to update to the latest stable upstream version there's not a lot of sense in keeping it in fedora.

I hope someone will help me to keep freemind in fedora,

Johannes

Well, ok so I had to do it on my own. ;-)

I finally managed to get freemind 1.0.0 to compile and obviously the new dependencies allow the compilation as well.

Still it's not really usable and I will have to work on smoothing the rough edges, but I see some possibilities to bring all that to fedora.

JMapViewer and Jortho need a review and I will submit them as soon as possible, so that the new freemind release can enter fedora as soon as possible.

All the best,

Johannes
