Lately, I've been updating out-of-date orphans. So far I did the ones that were easy to update/test so this is a status report on the remaining ones. The purpose here is, ideally, to find maintainers for them or at least testers (devs or users).
BTW, make sure that you are listed as maintainer for both arches of the packages you maintain even if you can't build the package for that architecture. Several packages have only one of their arch adopted. This clutters the list of orphaned and it spams the dev ML with out-of-date notifications.
Here the commented list: ... userui: I can't really test the rest. Is there anyone able/willing to test updated packages for them? In fact, I didn't really checked them out. evms and exim seems important so I'm not confortable to push them even in testing without any good testing. For the rest, if noone comes forward, I could test them as good as I can and push them to testing then as for testers on the arch-general ML much like I did for the scim stuff. Moving some of them to AUR is always a possibility.
I use userui (since I use a TuxOnIce patched kernel) .. and I'm updateing this package myself too. Recently /usr/sbin/tuxoniceui_fbsplash can't be compiled on Arch since the Arch freetype package doesn't include the static (.a) library. So I can test an updated package. -- damjan
