#11456 Unretire rpms/xorg-x11-xdm
Closed: Fixed by humaton. Opened by alissonbruno.

Describe the issue
XDM package was retired because it was no longer being maintained.
I only noticed it when I updated my system version to F37. I do use XDM and having to build it manually is no fun.
I am not the only one missing it, please check this discussion.
I'll be happy to maintain it as long as it still makes sense to be maintained.

If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?
None, I guess.

When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)
As soon as possible.

There are a few things that you need to ensure before getting ownership of this package. Make sure you are in the packagers group[1] and if the package is retired for more than 8 weeks, you need to file a Bugzilla ticket which is the package review tracking ticket it is required only for new or long retired packages[2].

Hi @humaton,
I've created an issue requesting to be sponsored and added to the group package.
Regarding the second point, the last time I checked the package was only 6 weeks retired, so not sure if the review would be required.

You need to do a full review as the package was retired more than a year ago.

You are correct. I got confused with the last commit message. I will submit it to be reviewed.

The ticket asking for a new review has been created. I tried to provide as much information as possible. Hope that helps.
