Please users stop abusing of the out-of-date option. What you SHOULDN'T do: - report as out-of-date a package when a beta or a RC is out - report as out-of-date a package which conflicts - report as out-of-date a package which doesn't build - report as out-of-date a package which is broken - report as out-of-date a package when the mirror you use is out-of-date - and my favorite, report as out-of-date a package which WORKS like this one at the bottom of this mail What you SHOULD do: - report as out-of-date a package when a *stable* release of that package is out Thanks. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Arch Website Notification <nobody@archlinux.org> Date: 1 December 2011 13:39 Subject: [arch-notifications] Orphan Extra package [netkit-bsd-finger] marked out-of-date To: arch-notifications@archlinux.org xxx wants to notify you that the following packages may be out-of-date: * netkit-bsd-finger 0.17-6 [extra] (i686): https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/netkit-bsd-finger/ * netkit-bsd-finger 0.17-6 [extra] (x86_64): https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/netkit-bsd-finger/ The user provided the following additional text: Now it works. --2011-12-01 13:38:27-- http://mir.archlinux.fr/extra/os/x86_64/netkit-bsd-finger-0.17-6-x86_64.pkg....
