Re: [arch-general] Fuse and out-of-date packages in general

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 There are many out-of-date packages that are not updated for a long time.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?

I can't tell why fuse is not updated, but often there is a reason for package being outdated for a longer period of time. For example, the rawtherapee package form [community], which is now outdated probably for a few months, was never updated because the current version has a bug that makes it crash on almost any action (the new version with a fix should be released soon though). If you want to help, I guess you could update a PKGBUILD, test it and send the PKGBUILD directly to the package maintainer. At least you should get a reply why the package is not updated. Lukas
