Because of this and because I don't use the package anymore, it would be better if someone else maintains it. Anyone interested? I have the updated PKGBUILD and script. If not we could: a) move it to unsupported as we already have several ftp servers in extra b) I would be willing to continue to maintain it but I'll need someone else to build/test/upload the x86_64 package as I can't test it. c) this is the more cumbersome. I could continue to maintain and build for both arches but every update will go to testing first for signoffs.

Another option might be to release it to community (or maybe that is what you meant by unsupported). Maybe one of the TUs would want to take it over.

Yes, I meant removing it from extra so it'll go to eitherunsupported or community if a TU is interested. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Speaking on behalf of myself, I think it would be smart if we started shedding some packages from extra that we don't really use- we shouldn't feel obliged to maintain them just because someone else put them there and stuck us with them. Package maintenance can be a real bore if you aren't even interested in the package you are working on.

So phrased shortly- if you don't use it and other devs don't have interest, throw it to unsupported where it may or may not get picked up by a TU.

Yeah, I have a tendency of maintaining too much packages and having problems of letting them go. Anyhow, I've orphaned proftpd and above options b) and c) are no longer available. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
