Ok thanks. Just for the record that was one of the things I fixed when I updated the package, but oh well. Gadget3000 On 9 April 2013 14:27, Felix Yan <felixonmars@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
I'm the previous maintainer of the xflux package ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xflux/).

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
