> Now i deleted my fork, I acknowledge that its not the upstream project 

I am sorry Davide, I didn't mean you to delete your fork. Forking an upstream
project is perfectly fine, and sharing it with people is too. Don't worry, you
did a good thing there.

I am only concerned whether we can package it for Fedora, saying that the fork
is the upstream.

This being the case, I think the correct solution would be packaging the
original project and applying your changes as patches. More about them here
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_patch_guidelines

The upstream is looking inactive/dead, but you should propose the patches via
pull requests anyway. Then we can confidently say we did everything we could.


But I have an alternative proposal. The choice is entirely up to you, but I
think
this could be less work.

There is a hexcurse-ng project - https://github.com/prso/hexcurse-ng/ which
looks alive. The maintainer proposed several changes to the original project
and
didn't get them merged, so they are probably in the same situation as you
are. Do you want to try if the hexcurse-ng works for you, and potentially
package that project instead of the original hexcurse?
