Does anyone else think there is now just one thing missing from the "request" feature (or a different link)? I keep thinking "this package is broken" or "this package needs attention" (for reasons other than being out of date or abandoned), and there isn't a suitable button! Yes, the maintainer *should* be watching the comments, but that's very often not the case.
Currently, I think my only choices are: 1. Flag as "to be orphaned" (even though I know the maintainer is still active) 2. Flag as "out of date" (even though it isn't)
Examples might include: VCS packages that no longer build properly; or PKGBUILDs that do something unintentional (copy a file to the wrong directory, etc); or packages that don't build anymore because of a changed dependency.
Just wondered if those would be considered reasons for flagging as "out of date", or if anyone agrees this would be useful to have?
How about adding a "needs attention" checkbox when submitting a comment that, when checked, would email the maintainer and raise an "attention requested" flag on the package display page? The maintainer could check an "AR reset" checkbox when submitting his/her own comment, which would clear the flag. Carl
