[arch-general] Package Jami is out of date
Hello, the package Jami is out of date: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/jami-gnome/ The last packager seams to be not active anymore. Can anybody please take over the package? Best, Simon

This is a true fact.

This, however, is not. Why do you think that Bruno is "not active anymore"? Why do you think that asking someone else to take over his package due to him being Missing In Action is the correct solution? Have you tried asking him what the delay is? ... As a matter of fact, this was extensively discussed on the 16th through the 18th in our private IRC channel. The new version of jami-daemon does not build against the currently packaged version of libupnp, and other applications don't build against the newer versions of libupnp due to lots of API changes. This is not trivial to solve and multiple people are working on a solution. In no way is Bruno Pagani (@Archange) "not active anymore". Please have patience. :) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

Thank you for the reply. I thought, he is not active anymore, because he is not listed as an arch linux developer. [0] I wanted to write him an email, but since I have not found his mail on the developers site, I thought he is not active anymore. Now that I looked it up again I saw the notice, that only core and extra maintainers are listed there. My bad. thank you for the explanation, now that I know the cause I will be patient.

Aha. :) Here's a tip to make this easier. Look at the field: Last Packager: Bruno Pagani The name is a clickable field, it links to https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?packager=Archange which is a search for all packages that were last packaged by that maintainer. If you click on the heading for "Last Updated" you can also sort those by how recently they were updated. This lets you very quickly see how recently that package maintainer has been actively updating packages. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
