A couple people have asked me what paintain means.
Well, it’s a verb you can use to describe the maintenance of a package that is a pain-in-the-you-know-where to maintain. 🙂 Hopefully Fedora Community helps take away at least some of the pain of maintaining these packages.

Thanks for the explanation lovely Mairin,
I was wondering myself.
Can this be used also when referring to a human being ?
J.
Haha perhaps! Good luck 🙂
Well lovely Mairin,
after having paintained _that_ human being I’m (not very) happy to announce I’m being a single male again….
Do you know of any reverse paintain verb I could use now ?
J.
