Packages looking for a loving home (and a little plea on patches)

[David Nielsen]

I've orphaned all my packages, I don't have a Fedora install with which to
do package development anymore aside that my cvs access is utterly busted
which I just don't have the nerves to mess with anymore. Time has come to
admit that I am just not that passionate about Fedora anymore and that I at
least need a long break.

The cute innocent little packages in question are:

webkit-sharp - C# webkit bindings.
monsoon - Bittorrent client written in C# using GTK# and MonoTorrent.
mono-nat - NAT handling support for Mono.
banshee-mirage - The famed Mirage extension for Banshee, does spectrum
analysis and makes cool playlists of similar songs for you.

There is one patch for webkit-sharp sitting in bugzilla which I haven't
commited yet. I would suggest that someone interested in Banshee take
webkit-sharp at least as it is required for the 1.5.x series. The patch
adjusts the .so version we require and is required on F11 and above for
wekbit-sharp to function. This package will require paying attention to the
heads up messages from the webkit maintainer (Peter Gordon - a nice guy, I
promise) and if the so version is bumped then the patch needs updating.

monsoon and mono-nat pretty much go hand in hand, upstream is very friendly
and tends to handle bugreports well. These are a very low weight packages
which shouldn't add much to the bugload of it's owner, updates are fairly
rare and easy to handle.

banshee-mirage is a very nice addition to the great Banshee we all know and
love, it's low maintenance and upstream is very good at handling bugs. This
package might be merged into banshee main at some point.

Additionally there are some patches sitting in bugzilla for
ndesk-dbus(-glib) from the Sugarlab guys, they need to be rebased for fuzz
but they fix datastore problems they encountered in their work. It would be
nice if someone could put in 10 mins of work to get those patches commited.
The reportedly need this in F11 so it would be nice to let the patches
simmer in rawhide for a while then unless issues arise issue the fix to our
stable platforms as well.

Hey David,

if no one else is interested I would take over monsoon and mono-nat.

regards,
Paul

Thank you, can I bribe you into taking all of them. I can help do the
version bumps and handling bugs, since I am working with upstream for most
of the projects it is in my best interest to keep those in good shape. I
honestly just want a sizable bit of distance from commiting and dealing with
fedora-devel, fesco and a few problematic people so I feel more comfortable
in the shadows of bugzilla and on this list.

OK, finally I found the way to take them. They're mine now ;)
Patches, bugs, whatever welcome.

webkit sharp for rawhide and f11 needs this:
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500654

banshee-mirage update can be found here:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-mono/2009-March/000014.html

monsoon I think has an update but I don't have a spec for it currently.

And here is the Monsoon update, tested and running here on F11.

This one fixes a rather nasty problem with pausing of torrents and other
issues, drops an upstreamed patch.. goodness.

Everything is done. Testing welcome:

thank you Paul. These work beautifully and the webkit-sharp update solves
the bug. We should be in good shape for Banshee 1.5.x with context pane now.
