New subject: [opensuse-kde] Re: [opensuse-factory] Chromium is looking for a new maintainer

15 Aug 2016

      Hi Folks,

Due to personal reasons, I will be dropping my packaging activities
for openSUSE. In the 8 years that I was contributing to openSUSE, I
witness quite some ups and downs. However it has always been a great
pleasure in helping the enthusiastic community that surrounds openSUSE
and I am sure that Leap and Tumbleweed are well being taken care off.

In those 8 years I have mainly been active in the KDE area, but there
are two other packages that would require a new maintainer.

The first one is a simple one, but still important to the whole KDE
search structure. This is the Xapian package with its bindings.

The second one has become a monster of its one and that is the
Chromium web browser. This one is quite hard to handle as that we have
some particular patches, but it also faces a lot of issues when
building due to memory and disk consumption. Also it has almost all
required libraries in-source and removing those would cause build
failures as that system versions might not have a particular patch.
This week I will still be working on getting the chromium-dev variant
in a good shape as that Google introduced a new build system. It looks
like I managed to get it working, but lets see.

Please let me know if you might be interested in taking the
maintainership for xapian-core, the three chromium variants or maybe
both :)

Regards
Raymond
