Patch them if you want, orphan them if you don't.
Some applications I can patch or use sed, but there are some packages that,
in my opinion, would require somebody that knows programming in order to fix the issues.
Hi Nathan,
If it's a useful software someone will fork and fix it properly. Are you speaking about a particular software?
Greetz, Peter Lustig -- freenode/pyropeter "12:50 - Ich drücke Return."
Currently I can't remember which ones. I will go through once I finish cleaning my current packages. Once I see the package name, I will remember which ones.
Thanks
Ok the current packages that gives me the problems, are:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11337 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10611 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14896 (contacted author) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7119 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11336 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31159
I contacted more authors than I noted above. The ones I contacted, I put it in a comments.
