[arch-general] Wget in Extra is out-of-date for more than two months
Hello Archers, Is there any particular reason as to why Wget in the Extra repository has been out of date for more than two months now (It was flagged out of date on 15th of November, 2015)? The current version available in the repository is 1.16.3-1. The latest version upstream is 1.17.1. Best Regards, Harrison Wells

Still not clear what's the hold up. Will try to poke the maintainer on irc. On 25-Feb-2016 9:15 PM, "Eli Schwartz" <eschwartz93@gmail.com> wrote:

Well, I didn’t wanted to say so at the time of the previous ask, but I think the maintainer IS the hold up. He has quite a lot of outdated packages: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=-last_update&maintainer=eric And if you look at not outdated ones, most of them are not packaged by him. Indeed: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=-last_update&packager=eric And here you see that over the 6 pkgbases he updated over the last three months, most of them were outdated for quite a long time before update, and 3 of them are already outdated. Maybe he is quite busy IRL currently or anything else, but then he should tell other devs so that someone could take care of those packages. ;) Bruno

I may not know the arch process, but why is it possible for a simple version bump to be held up in a way that no other developer feels like they may take action?
They may "not" take action. Sorry for the typo. On Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 7:51 PM, Carsten Mattner <carstenmattner@gmail.com> wrote:
