Excerpts from Juan Diego's message of Do Okt 08 07:12:55 +0200 2009:

is it possible to have something similar for core, extra and community repos?

There is a 'flag package out of date' link to click for core, extra and community repo packages when you view the package on the main website.

Good day everyone

I have a suggestion.

if you take a look at the packages in aur, most of them are always up to date, the reason that I can find is the "flag out-of-date" feature, this is very interesting because in aur you also have the possibility to propose a new PKGBUILD ( in the comments) that would set the package as up to date and usually the maintainer just have to check that everything is ok with the PKGBUILD and do copy-paste.

I know you can submit a bug, but at least in my case I got lazy to do that because is not a simple process, but in aur I do it frequently because you just have to press a simple button.

Have a nice day

Actually, you can't submit a bug. Submit bugs for broken packages only - out-of-date does not mean broken.

Flag the package out-of-date, and if you wish, submit an updated PKGBUILD to the maintainer by email (unless you're too lazy for that too).
