Description w unruh 2014-01-15 08:18:52 CET

xforms, the library and program for the development of X programs, was a part of Mandriva main, but it is missing from Mageia. This should be brought back since there are programs which use it (libforms) such as the program I developed, but others as well. This is especially true as development and maintainance of this package has revived ( with a new release 1.2.2) after a hibernation.

Still missing in Mageia 5 rc. 
It is included on Fedora (xforms and xforms-devel) I have a number of packages which need it.

Hardware: i586 => All

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

Sorry, bugs@ml and pkg-bugs@ml members, for the avalanche.

72 bugs with the "New RPM package request" component, had a severity of "normal" or more, which can lead to losing precious time when searching Bugzilla for bugs that urgently need to get fixed

Now mass-changing that to "enhancement", as it should be for package requests.

https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly#How_to_file_a_package_request

@ the reporter of this package request

Please check in http://madb.mageia.org/ whether this software did already get packaged, and close this bug report if it did.
Please do also close it if you find a package with the same purpose, that meets your needs.

Severity: normal => enhancement

Last release and project activity is from 2014.

Closing WONT.

Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
