Dear Arch Devs,
I'm reposting this mail to arch-general because I was ignored on arch-dev-public.
You can not post to arch-dev-public so your message was not ignored, we just never saw it.
I wonder what should be done about the "blender" package in [extra]. The package hasn't been updated for quite some time (it is correctly marked out-of-date), a few bug reports have been filed for it, it doesn't build anymore and the package maintainer doesn't answer my mails. What can be done in such a case?
So the package is out-of-date and the new version does not build? Could be a reason why it is not updated... Anyway, the way this tends to be dealt with, is someone posts a working PKGBUILD here and another dev updates it. If this happens regularly for a package, either another dev with take over maintenance or it will be dropped to [community]. Allan
