Usually it's to wait considerably long. Then if it seems that contributor doesn't care about Arch anymore (I know it's strange, but it happens), ask TU's for orphaning his/her(I believe that there is some) packages. 2008/10/16 ben buckley <buckley2004@earthlink.net>:

hey all,
i've whipped up PKGBUILDs to enable dri with the ati mach64 chipset. i'd like to contribute them.
thing is, there's already one there:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17939
however, that PKGBUILD doesn't install the recompiled libdrm. i've contacted the author, with no response.
i don't want to tread on anyone's toes, but i would like to contribute back to arch in some small way.
what's the proper protocol here?
thnx, b -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
