Hi Sven-Hendrik,
Some maintainers seem to see that differently. They want a comment _and_ the out-of-date button to be pressed, if the package is broken. Do not know why. To me this is annoying.
That way, they show up in your overview which is handy if you get rid of the comment mails for some reason.
yes, exactly. Just consider the 'arch-haskell' user, which owns some 2,000 packages. The "My packages" list for that user is spread out over 80 separate pages! It's impossible for me to log into AUR and locate those packages that need maintenance by checking the comment sections of 2,000 packages. Packages that are marked out-of-date, on the other hand, have an index of their own, so those are way easier to find. Take care, Peter
