I actually have tried to rebuild this package (which i took over from
the previous maintainer) but ran into this error:

Building target platforms: noarch
Building for target noarch
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.70603
+ umask 022
+ cd /builddir/build/BUILD
+ LANG=C
+ export LANG
+ unset DISPLAY
+ cat

Build disabled. Package is without maintainer.

I'm in the owners file and everything, so i am not sure which step i
skipped to end in this situation ... previous builds (which was back in
feb) i didn't have this error

Any idea what i can do to remedy this situation?

Thanks,
