Hi Shanto. I've been pretty busy and haven't had a chance to update my packages for a bit. I would like to see whomever is responsible for the eclipse-dltk-* packages also maintain the following packages as well: - eclipse-antlr-runtime - eclipse-dtp - eclipse-h2-database - eclipse-pdt - eclipse-pdt-debugger - eclipse-rse - eclipse-wtp The reason for this is that these eclipse plugins all depend on each other in one way or another and it's hard to get several people to co-oridnate releases so they all work at once. Especially eclipse-pdt. Let me know if you're willing and able to handle all of these packages, keep them more up to date than I am and make sure that whoever takes them over after you will do the same, and I'll try to co-ordinate a time to orphan them with you so you can grab them all. If not, I'll update them soon. Cheers, Jon On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 3:42 PM, Shanto <shanto@hotmail.com> wrote:
I am sorry to bump this thread but it seems like my request escaped everyone's eyes last time. I brought this up in the IRC channel yesterday and some people suggested me just to bump it. So..
To recap, all eclipse-dltk-* packages from emphire are out-of-date: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=emphire&SeB=m
NOTE 1: DLTK Stable 3.0.1 was released on August 26, 2011: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dltk/downloads/drops/R3.0/S-3.0.1-201...
NOTE 2: emphire doesn't seem to respond to user requests since 30th June: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19400
NOTE 3: I do maintain some eclipse/related packages, and I am interested to 1) adopt, 2) update and 3) keep maintaining/updating in sync with upstream releases.
----------
@ emphire: Please disown these eclipse/dltk packages for now. If I adopt your packages, I promise, I will give these back to you as soon as you get back to AUR and ask me.
Thanks, Shanto (Arch UEU)

All eclipse-dltk-* packages are out of date since August/September. While I have flagged rest of them just yesterday, eclipse-dltk-python was flagged since 2nd October, 2011. These out-of-date packages, in addition to some comments posted, make it apparent that emphire is no more interested or too busy to maintain these packages any more (no offence).
As I already maintain eclipse-platform and some related stuff, I am willing to adopt these packages if orphaned.
In addition, I am thinking if bundling these packages under a single package (eclipse-dltk or eclipse-dltk-bundle) makes better sense. (see the all-in-one bundle and integration components in dltk download page) Knowledgeable/experienced Eclipse users and maintainers, please suggest.
Thanks, Shanto
