Could anyone help me to get the permission to adopt 'fossil'. I've created a 'fossil-fossil' PKGBUILD.
You should not do this. Instead post a link to the updated PKGBUILD in the comments. I will delete this duplicate.
On further inspection, your package should be fossil-git. Please upload with this new name and I will merge it. fossil should follow the stable version.
But, I want to adopt the 'fossil' too. I've reported the out-date and e-mailed the current maintainer, but no reply for at least one or two weeks.
Check your sent items and reply once it has been two weeks with no response.
(Check the outdate time, it is more than one month).
There may be good reasons why a package has not been updated, so an email to the maintainer is what we go on.
