As far as I can tell, there would be several solutions to this problem.
Ask the EPEL maintainers to keep the application up-to-date.
Patch the darn thing so I don't get the annoying popup.
Maintain my own up-to-date version of XScreenSaver in my private repo.
Any thoughts about this?
I just got the following response from Jamie Zawinski, the XScreenSaver developer:
"Yes, your distro sucks, and I wish they would stop redistributing my software if they refuse to keep it up to date."
He apparently had the same reaction with the Debian guys.
Yeah that is pretty classic JWZ... well except he didn’t say something anatomically impossible. I think he may have mellowed a bit. I will see if the EPEL version can be updated. Also to make sure that he doesn’t get the bugs since he doesn’t want them :)
