There was no rush to upload this package. You could have contacted him just to say what you were doing, but you didn't.
Hi Chris, First, there was more than one packages in AUR (opensmtpd, opensmtpd-portable, etc). I hope others maintainers will not claims kinship. I have contacted, AUR opensmtpd maintainer by mail in march to ask him to update because the package was was out-of-date since weeks. He doesn't answer and it's not the same email that Hugo. I'm wondering if Hugo was maintainer of opensmtpd for more than 2 weeks. I usually post a comment before removing package from AUR to notify the old maintainer. Do I have forgot? I think y're *very* light when you claims: you didn't contact the maintainer. Anyway, it's pure courtesy and not really the real reason of the complain. Secondly, I confirm, there was no rush. To give you more context, I've my own opensmtpd package running on my computers since the first releases of opensmtpd. Before pushing the package I telling myself : "Oh I it works correctly on my stuff for weeks, it's on abs for 1 week, I can push it to community". So, I'm not a serial packager ! Emotional comments, like your and Hugo come time to time, usually on aur-general, when packages are moved from AUR to community. AUR PKGBUILD are _not_ the property of the maintainer (even if he's a good guy who drink beer) and sending a mail can be automated by AUR to says : "You're package have been removed. Thanks for you support :)" Cheers, -- Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer https://www.seblu.net GPG: 0x2072D77A
