remind

[David A. De Graaf]

What's happened to the remind and tkremind packages?

I just discovered, to my horror, they're not available in Fedora 31.
I'm going to have to contend with a lot of unhappy birthday celebrants.

To find out what happened to packages that get retired, you can visit
a URL of the form https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/remind (with the
package name the final component).  In this case, it shows that the
package was orphaned for 6+ weeks; i.e., the maintainer stepped down
and nobody took over the package.

If you're interested in maintaining it, visit

I never knew they ever appeared in the repos. I've been compiling
remind from source for every new release for years (never used
tkremind). I have it pop up reminders with a silly Qt app:

... which is located at https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/.
And, yes, it is perfectly easy to fetch and install the .tar.gz file.

Thank you all for the helpful info.
