jellyfin-server and jellyfin-web packages seem unmaintained
Hi there, I am not sure how to handle this problem, but I know that I am not the only person that has this problem. Currently, the packages /jellyfin-server/ and /jellyfin-web /are one stable release (10.8.13 -> 10.9.0) and multiple bugfix versions (latest version is 10.9.3) behind. While 10.9.0 was released "just" two weeks ago, this still brings some new features that might be required by other packages. What would be the appropriate action if the current maintainer does not release a update soon? Regards, Florian

Likely, mark it as out of date if it's not already done and wait. They probably have a lot more than these packages to maintain along with potentially real life stuff as well. If it really *cannot* wait for your use case, I'm fairly certain you could download the PKGBUILD and any other files used to originally build it, try updating them yourself and run makepkg -si and use that until the PM gets to it. -- Kusoneko GPG: https://kusoneko.moe/gpg.txt https://kusoneko.moe

There are zero required-by's on those two packages, except between themselves.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Package_Maintainer_guidelines You can become a maintainer, so the current maintainers do not need to bear hundreds or even thousands of packages themselves. You can also update and build it yourself (I suggest pkgrel 0, so real update overwrites your changes), and if the fixes are more than just bumping pkgrel/pkgver, you can send a PR with the necessary changes.

Hi, I just wanted to add a follow-up to anyone reading this and wanting to update to the new version. I created a MR here: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/jellyfin-server/-/... Feel free to try it if you want! Regards, Florian On 27.05.24 11:40, Florian Wetzel wrote:

I'd have made this on GitLab but don't have access right now - why ditch the upstream systemd units and hardcore them? Wouldn't it be better to source the new packaging repo instead? https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-packaging/ Martin On Mon, May 27, 2024, 19:09 Florian Wetzel <linux@commanderred.xyz> wrote:
