I was curious how a user like myself can find out when the 'Postfix' package from Arch Linux will be upgraded from 2.6.5 to 2.7.0? Is there a way I can see the release schedule or a round about guess-tamite as to when it will be released?

I guess that will happen when postfix dev release the final stable version, right now it seems to be just a stable _release candidate_.

I show on their site that Postfix 2.7.0 is released as stable and not a R.C. Am I missing something? http://www.postfix.org/announcements.html

Geez, a whole week? Arch must be falling apart at the seams. Bump the version in the PKGBUILD out of ABS and build it yourself? Running fine here for the past few days...

I was pretty clear in my initial post that I was asking if there is a way a user can view package release schedules. I used Postfix as an example. I wasn't making any accusation that Arch is slow or under maintained. Please don't be confused and pretend you're on the forums by starting thread wars...

My bad, I just checked this mirror (in my country) ftp://ftp.inescn.pt/pub/net/mail/postfix/index.html for the downloads available but it seems this mirror is not up to date.

Paul just released the Postfix 2.7.0-1 package in 'Testing' for anyone that is interested. http://www.archlinux.org/packages/testing/x86_64/postfix/ I have not tested it yet.
