How can I propose a new version of an existing package?
Hi all. I got lost in the Fedora Wiki trying to figure out what is the best way to propose the adoption of version 3.8.1 for llvm/clang, because it's a bugfix version, released at the beginning of July, but both Fedora 25 Alpha and Rawhide still ship version 3.8.0, which is basically the same already shipped with Fedora 24. Also, MyPaint is still at version 1.1, although a new stable version (1.2) with many improvements has been released upstream in January. How's that some packages don't make it to be included even when they are released much long before the Milestone freezes of Fedora? I'm not sure how to find the answers I'm looking for. I'd need to make sure that my doubts haven't already been addressed in some way by the respective maintainers, just to avoid making redundant requests. For that, I need to know where to find news about those packages and in case how to ask to update to the said versions. Thank you.
EDIT: An interesting question (and related anwers) or all Fedora users.
I could add COPR
and Flatpak
as new ways for seamlessing installing packages not in (or newer than those in) official Fedora repos.
