Hi guys, the tinyxml package (a C++ lib for handling xml files) from AUR is expired for some time already and the maintainer seems to not have the time to update it. I've put together my own one, but I'm unsure how I should put it on the web. Creating another package in AUR seems a wrong decision, so I thought somebody here can replace the original one. Beside the version update it also has STL support enabled and it creates shared libs.
Usually you flag it out of date first, maybe post your updated variant using some paste service and link it there. After a while, like two weeks, you mail the maintainer. If he doesn't respond you ask on this list for someone to orphan the package (provide a link to it). Usually it's orphaned in a matter of hours, then you can adopt and update it. HTH Philipp
