[arch-general] Efficiency of devs/TUs
I just did my -Syu and saw pidgin had been version-bumped to 2.6.5. Since my connection is dog-slow, I browsed to pidgin.im while waiting for the download to finish (I like to check change-logs). Lo and behold, the version advertised on Pidgin's official website was 2.6.4! Of course, the sourceforge was at 2.6.5. Which has just been uploaded today, 10th January. Now THAT'S what I call efficiency. Thanks guys. The PKGBUILD indicates Biru Ionut as the specific maintainer, but thanks to all the rest as well =).

This is because of our out of date feature. :D In the morning i've seen the notification and surprise, foutrelis marked it(which is a TU). -- Ionut

And I, in turn, noticed the new version thanks to distrowatch.com (Latest Packages on the left sidebar). :P The speed with which the out-of-date notification was acted upon is still impressive though. :)
