[arch-general] firefox-i18n Dependency and package mainteiner contact
Hi, I don't how to contact the package maintainer of firefox-i18n so I write to here. This in order to correct the dependency from firefox=3.0 to firefox>=3.0 ( and firefox <=4.0 maybe). Other thing, how can generally someone contact the package maintainer? Cheers

You can run `pacman -Si package` to get maintainer contact ou use the web interface on archlinux.org. -- Hugo Doria

The question is not so stupid as it sounds in the first moment because "pacman -Si" shows only the packager but we all speaks even from the maintainer. And i must say that this point is for me not clear too and i will give you a example with firefox-i18n: pacman -Si firefox-i18n: Packager : Jan de Groot <jgc@archlinux.org> First lines in the PKGBUILD (i delete only the email addresses): # Maintainer: Thomas Baechler # Contributor: Jaroslaw Swierczynski # Contributor: Michal Hybner And now? Result for me: Having the abs tree on my disk (or looking at repos.archlinux.org) is the best solution to find out who maintains a package.-) Note: A "pacman -Si firefox" shows this "Packager : Unknown Packager". See you, Attila

The best way to know who _currently_ maintains a package is looking at archlinux.org/packages/ because new maintainer may not always change the # Maintainer tag right away.
Note: A "pacman -Si firefox" shows this "Packager : Unknown Packager".

I want to ask a question here.. I can't really distinguish the difference between Maintainer and Contributor... I wasn't able to see it on the AUR wiki.. So can someone enlighten me ? Alper KANAT http://raptiye.org Roman Kyrylych wrote:

Contributer is the person/people who contributed code to the PKGBUILD. Maintainer is the person who deals with the updates. Allan
