Personalmente mi plan es sacar adelante el paquete para OmegaT y finalmente descartar el que tengo abandonado en Fedora.

El grupo confía en publicar unos cuantos nuevos, por ejemplo Banshee. Y personalmente, si le pillo el tranquillo a empaquetar aplicaciones java, creo que buscaré el rato para empaquetar Freeplane y así dar el salto definitivo desde el viejo Freemind.

Veremos a ver cómo se nos da.

Going to retire Fedora's OmegaT package

Well, time has come and I must face my responsability on this.

My first important package in Fedora was for OmegaT. AFAIK OmegaT is the best FLOSS computer aid translator tool available. With the time OmegaT has been enjoying a very active development with a significant (to me) handicap: new releases adds new features with new dependencies on java libraries not available in Fedora. As you perfectly know, updating the package requires to add each one of those libraries as new packages. But I can’t find the time for such that effort. That’s the reason the last Fedora version is 2.6.3 and the lasts at upstream are 3.6.0 / 4.1.2.

So, I give up. I want to retire the package from Fedora because I’m sure I will not be able to update it anymore.

I’ll wait some days waiting someone expressing their interest on taking ownership. Otherwise I’ll start the retirement process.

PS: OTOH I plan to publish OmegaT as a flatpak package via Flathub. Seems to me it would be a lot easier to maintain that way. I’m aware Flathub is out of the scope of Fedora :-/

PPS: I send an announcement to the Fedora devel mailing list.

PPPS: detailed announcement and plan.
