I'm sorry for the harsh words. If those requests were made AFTER update package in repo there won't be this conversation. I found situation where killing other people efforts to make things work, unacceptable without providing an alternative. Common sense should prevail the rules.

Common sense tells me that if we allow people to upload newer packages just because the repo package is out of date, the AUR will be an even bigger mess than it already is. Everyone will be uploading packages a few hours after upstream releases updates, and of course they will just abandon them instead of having them deleted. The rules are in place for a reason. Doug
