Technically, 2 weeks after writing the email you could have come here to ask for orphaning.
I wanted (and still want) to create a good relationship between the package maintainer and me as upstream. But vacation time is over now. So i assume she/he is busy with other things.
That is still possible and a TU will gladly help you adopt this package.
Seeking for an excuse that is as good as the one i used for not becomming Debian Maintainer of my software ... How about this: In general, i try to be a neutral upstream. Not even Linux specific. Or: The effort to teach me is as big as the effort to make the change which i propose below. But as said, i am mainly interested in good cooperation. Just tell me what i have to do. If it is needed to adopt the package and to learn AUR proceedings, then i will do. ----------------------------------------------------------- What i would try to achieve: Make package "xorriso" empty and depending on "libisoburn". Make "xorriso-tcltk" empty and depending on "libisoburn", "tcl", "Tk">=8.4, and "bwidget" Reasoning: That would put all future maintainance effort on the archlinux package "libisoburn". If "xorriso" would be removed, i assume that soon some user of grub-mkrescue would ask for such a package. I see all needed files in https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/libisoburn/files/ Only the dependency on Tcl/Tk/Bwidget is missing (and inappropriate for a library). Is this possible at all ? Would a Trusted User be willing to teach me how to achieve it ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
