-Package is retired

+
+Hello,
+
+epdfview, a light-weight PDF viewer, is not maintained upstream anymore. 
+The upstream developer recommends to switch to evince-gtk (a build of 
+evince with minimal dependencies, requested in BZ#906121) or zathura. I 
+am going to retire epdfview from Fedora.
+
+epdfview is used in Xfce and LXDE spins. The maintainers need to decide 
+what to do. My suggestion is to use evince-gtk once/if it becomes available.
+
+Regards,
+Michal
