I'm also curious about this. It seems like the maintainer hasn't been active for the past 5 months.[1] What is the normal course of action in such a case? For instance, how could I contact the maintainer?
TeXLive is not a critical package, so what's the rush updating it? If you really want to see an updated version, open a bugreport and attach there a patched PKGBUILD. And of course, you can always build the latest version locally (just clone the svn trunk and run makepkg)...
Cheers,
Please do not file a bug report because a package is outdated. This is the #1 rule of the bugtracker.
Sorry, I meant feature request. Of course, opening tickets just to say that a package X is out-of-date is silly. But if the project is complex (like texlive-*) then bumping it may not be a simple issue. So if I happen to go through this exercise before the maintainer, how am supposed to communicate the working PKGBUILD, in an open fashion? A ML would be best of course, but arch-general isn't a place for this...
