I sent an email about the package display-dhammapada and have not had a response.
Im sure you have a lot to do, but im giving you an update.
What i have done is to revise the way this package can work moving forward.
Specifically there are 2 options:
1. I converted the package to be compatible with fortune.
This will make it far easier to maintain. I had submitted a request to get the package into Fedora years ago, they did not like it because it was religious so ..
They bumped me to rpmfusion, rpmfusion would not accept the binary despite the availability of source code.
It took a large effort to convert everything so I will be submitting to rpmfusion.
2. I also wrote a bash script to allow functionality in the original package not provided by fortune (selection of specific verses, etc).
I have to update the graphical option as it was using notify-send and it does not work with Wayland. Notify send works, but the message is not displayed.
Once I fix this I will be hosting on gitlab. I will provide (on gitlab):
1. The original source code as in your repos now.
2. The updated package I made years ago at your request. At that time I submitted the package , but it was never reviewed.
3. The new packages:
A. Fortune only.
B. Fortune + additional functionality (original options and graphical display).
I will be resubmitting to rpmfusion.
I can package into a deb if you wish, either Fortune only or both packages .
How do you want to proceed?
