Hi everybody,
I hope it's the good mailing list to request package update (the bug tracker only says 'the Mailing List'), and I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
VLC has been flagged out-of-date on 2018-02-07 (2 weeks ago). Can you update it to v3.0.0, please?
Thank you in advance!

Yes, sometimes even Arch Linux takes longer than 47 minutes after an upstream release to update packages. Two weeks for a major version update that changes lots of dependencies including a move from Qt4 to Qt5, *and* provides libraries against which *other* packages need to be rebuilt? Yeah, this takes time.
I'm sorry if my intention was misunderstood. I know it can take time after a major upstream update. Simply, due to no sign of activity for v3.0.0 on staging/testing, I thought it had been forgotten. I *really* appreciate work done by mainteners, and it was not a reproach. Thank you Levente Polyak for the update.
