Ok thanks. Just for the record that was one of the things I fixed when I updated the package, but oh well.

Hi,
I'm the previous maintainer of the xflux package ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xflux/). Over the past 24 hours someone else has become the maintainer of the package but I'm confused as to how because I never gave up "ownership" of it. Before I go on I just want to clarify that I'm not so bothered about getting the package back so much as understanding how someone else now maintains the package without my knowledge (I only found out after doing> a
system, update an seeing that that package got updated even though I
didn't
update the version number).
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the only way a maintainer can be forced to give up a package is if someone sends an email to the> maintainer,
asking them to update the package and the maintainer does not respond (either by email or by updating the package). I received an email
yesterday
(8th March) asking me to update the package, because it didn't build
since
the makepkg update, and I updated the package. Even if I hadn't updated> it,
it had been less than 24 hours since I even got the message so I don't understand why someone else has now taken over the package.
So my question is does anyone know how I lost the package?
Thanks, Gadget3000

Just a small note, since i noticed you were not all that inactive i've also sent you a mail. Why did you not respond to it, then the package would'nt been orphaned at all. -- Ike ps: for all the thunderbird users out there, i know my signature will not be valid. please use something that works like mutt, claws mail, kmail, whatever.
