KDE 4.9 F16?

[Arnav Kalra]

It took me 3 days to install arch and even after that I was not able to use
wifi, so I gave up on it.  I may try again but fedora is much better.

How do I get to know which person is maintaining x package? I would like to
request packaging of tomahawk 0.5.5 for f17.  It is available in rawhide
but installing it is not possible due to missing boost libraries in
rawhide/18.
