privoxy version 3.0.17

[Patrick Mansfield]

Hi -

There's a bug in privoxy I'm hitting that's fixed with the latest version
3.0.17, that version has been out since last November.

How can I get the new version picked up for Fedora 15?

There's already a bug for it:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=594003

I don't know who the package maintainer is for it in Fedora (or if there is even one).

Thanks ...

One way to see who a maintainer is is to check the ACL[1] for the 
package. It seems the package is still maintained.

You should add a "ping" comment to the bug requesting a status on the 
update. The maintainer may be waiting to release the update for 
dependencies or another reason. If you don't hear back from the 
maintainer in the bug in a week or so, try a direct e-mail. As a last 
resort you can invoke the non-responsive maintainer process[2].

I added a comment to the bug (back on July 31), and emailed Karsten (on
Aug 13, I'm cc-ing him here too), and have gotten no responses.

In the meantime, I created an rpm for my own use with 3.0.17 privoxy
source, it's working much better.

I saw your comment, but I'm currently quite busy with secondary arch.
I'f you'd like to either take over or co-maintain privoxy, I'll orphan 
the package or approve commit access for you.
