Sent mail to the maintainer of utserver.

I've received a mail from the maintainer of utorrent-server. Here are its (justified) motivations to create a new package :

First of all, I added the PKGBUILD for a few reasons:

...

1. Chris-Kan from utserver did not maintain it, it has been flagged out ouf date for a while 2. Did not want support 64bits systems even thought not compatible 3. For the name, it's actually because uTorrent team changed the name 4. His PKGBUILD does not work: Comment by: laasonen on Thu, 06 Jan 2011 16:23:08 +0000 "/tmp/packerbuild-0/utserver/utserver/PKGBUILD: line 25: cd: /tmp/packerbuild-0/utserver/utserver/src/bittorrent-server-v3_0: No such file or directory"

It should be: "cd $srcdir/utorrent-server-v3_0"

You should also add support for x86_64.

Regards,

Thank you. These are valid and good reasons. Nevertheless it would have been a better way to do a orphaning request on this list than to upload a duplicate.

Anyway, Jelle already wrote a comment on AUR comment page for utserver. So the problem will be solved in short.

BTW, thank you for notifying the duplicate.

Regards Stefan

Sorry for uploading a dublicate package, I come from Gentoo and was not used to AUR yet, like I said, utserver was not maintained anymore, and I did not oficially asked for this package, but as told to Cédric, I did not want to take over chris-kan's package, but just maintained it while he did not answer...... Btw, my PKGBUILD is based on his, and I will be very happy to get his help on it! I promise that I will my best to maintain utorrent-server (which is by the way in Alpha and has a big bug known upstream to crash.... We are working on this at this moment) And as a "new" PKGBUILD maintainer, I am open to any suggestions or help by anyone, and of course I would love, chris-kan's advice on my PKGBUILD as mine is based on his!! Again, sorry to not have followed all the rules..... Beretta92 Pierre-Antoine Vanpé

Hello Pierre-Antoine, no big problem. The bigger problems are maintainers who do not answer to AUR comments or mails. Keep contributing!
