[arch-general] UbuntuOne
I've noticed that there are some UbuntuOne related packages in aur, but many of them are very out of date. In theory, I'm told that we should be able to get UbuntuOne working under any Linux distro..I was wondering if there was any reason for the current state of the aur packages. Is there a technicaly issue that prevents us from having more updated packages? -- Samir
As I'm sure you're aware, the AUR packages depend on their maintainers updating them. I see the packages have been flagged out of date fairly recently, around the 28th of september. Perhaps the maintainer hasn't gotten around to updating them yet. Your next stop should be e-mailing the maintainer, or attempting to upgrade the PKGBUILDS yourself (the do not seem to require complicated adjustments). Concerning the question of support for this on *any* distro: I have no experience with UbuntuOne, sorry.

As packages in AUR are maintained by common users this has not really to do with Arch itself. from a quick view it seems the Maintainer is inactive. If you want to take care of the package write him a mail asking what's the matter and if he can orphan the package if he is no longer interested in them, if there was no reaction after two weeks, write an orphan request to the [aur-general] mailing list. And one of us TUs will orphan it for you. -- Jabber: atsutane@freethoughts.de Blog: http://atsutane.freethoughts.de/ Key: 295AFBF4 FP: 39F8 80E5 0E49 A4D1 1341 E8F9 39E4 F17F 295A FBF4
Thanks for info. I was mainly inquiring about the procedure more then anything else. On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 2:13 PM, Thorsten Töpper <atsutane@freethoughts.de> wrote:
