i have been using archlinux for about 3 months.I have switched from fedora to arch due to its simplicity. i had reported a bug http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15199?string=xzgv&project=1&type[0]=&sev[0]=&pri[0]=&due[0]=&reported[0]=&cat[0]=&status[0]=open&percent[0]=&opened=&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto= when i first started using arch.Recently it has been fixed and i have tested and reported it.

However it seems that xzgv package is currently orphaned as this page shows http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/xzgv/ so is rtorrent and libtorrent.They have been marked out-of-date for a while now.

is another trusted user or developer will be maintaining the packages in the future ?

i want to help and i want to maintain the above packages if someone else has not decided already. so where do i apply and how do i start ?

Note that all community packages are orphans at the moment due to the backend transition that is ongoing. I notice that xzgv 0.9.1 is now released. If you tell me whether updated version needs the patch provided in the bug report, I will do the update. Allan
