what is the policy for extra out-of-date packages. I'm thinking about eclipse and antlr.... The first one gave birth to its AUR up to date counterpart : eclipse-bin, and I've got an antlr3 package at hand, but I do not want to make it in AUR without knowing if it is good practice.
Those package are flagged as out-of-date. The bts policy is to not open bug for such a request, so as a last resort, I send this mail...
There was already some discussion about this problem in the end of 2007; see http://readlist.com/lists/archlinux.org/arch/1/6979.html
Thank you for any tip.
PS. I've seen at least one user leaving arch because of such out-dated packages.... (In french : http://linuxfr.org/~chicha/26802.html)
