Comment 1 Bit Twister 2016-08-10 22:11:18 CEST

Oops, that should be grep -i fail

Comment 2 Rémi Verschelde 2016-08-11 10:00:27 CEST

Assigning to all packagers collectively, and CC'ing maintainer (not assigning to him, as surprisingly I can't find any single commit from him on this package in the changelog: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/eterm/current/SPECS/eterm.spec?view=log).

@Solbu: Feel free to assign it to yourself if you do want to work on it.

CC: (none) => cooker

Interesting. Don't remember even hearing about this package, much less worked with it. How I was assigned as the maintainer is a mystery to me.
