[aur-dev] How can I Upload a new vesion of the vidyo package to AUR?
Hi all, Current vidyo (a CERN video conferencing tool) package in AUR doesn' t work for me. But I found a hack here (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701083#c7) which makes vidyo believes is running under ubuntu. That actually works. It s just the package in that hack is an old version of Vidyo. So I made up a new PKGBUILD for the latest version of vidyo. This PKGBUILD is a modification of the one currently in AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vidyo/) plus the hack I found. In any case, I can' t upload it to AUR because vidyo belongs to another maintanier. How can I proceed? Should I ask the other maintainer to modify his PKGBUILD? Thanks a lot! Cheers, Fernando
This belong to aur-general, aur-dev is only for development of the AUR software itself. On 17.01.2013 20:52, Fernando Monticelli wrote:

Post a comment on the package's page and if the maintainer doesn't react, send them a mail. If they still don't react, post on aur-general so a TU can orphan the package.

Hello, first, you ask this pquestion on the wrong list. This list is about developement of the AUR itself. aur-general would be the right list. Second, you can leave a comment in the AUR comments. You posted the link already Third, you can write a mail to the maintainer. Click on the maintainer's name on the AUR side of the package. If you do not hear from the maintainer between fourtenn days, write a mail to aur-general and ask for orphaning the package for taking it over. Thanks for you willing to contribute. Best Regards Stefan.
Thanks Stefan and Florian! Sorry for making noise in the wrong list. I' ll follow your suggestions. Best regards, Fernando On 01/17/13 16:59, Stefan Husmann wrote:
