Hi, fuse 2.9.2 was released a while ago. This release contains important bug-fix for deadlock and there are arch users that wait for this version https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=146157 Some time ago I marked the package as out-of-date https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/fuse/ But the package maintainer seems busy and ignores this package. Is there any way to force upgrading fuse? Actually I have more general question. There are many out-of-date packages that are not updated for a long time. Should other (non-package owners) take care of it? Is there any way for non Arch developers participate in package maintenance? I keep in mind something like MacPorts or Homebrew [1] where anyone can easily send a package update that can be reviewed and submitted to repo by developers. I found this is a great way to involve more people into project, for example I would be happy to send an update to fuse package. But I cannot find such instructions for Arch contributors.
