Description Shlomi Fish 2015-01-03 08:51:04 UTC
Hi all,

the last release of xdg-utils on http://portland.freedesktop.org/download/ is from 2011 and it's 1.1.0-rc1. Currently, the Mageia packaging is based on a snapshot of the git repository which is a flimsy way of doing things. There should be new releases in tarballs, in a way that doesn't require the GNU-Autotools-bootstrapping.

Please release them.

I've made a release since then,

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2014-February/013184.html

But have no access to freedesktop infrastructure to make changes myself.  If you know how to make that happen, I'm all ears.

I see - thanks! I let the mageia.org devs know about it.

I can't tell you offhand because I'm not really heavily involved in the freedesktop project. Is there a mailing list to whicih you can post this?
