[aur-general] How long to wait for package update?
Hi, I just added a comment to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31746 It seems the package has not changed since two years, even it was flagged out of date. I now sent a link to the sources (the old place was not available anymore). How long should I wait until the maintainer updates the package? I would adapt the package if the maintainer will not update the package. I also did added the maintainer into Cc of this mail, hoping to get soon response. Ciao, Oliver

Ciao, Oliver Generally 2 weeks (from when you notified the maintainer) is considered a fair amount of time.

The 2 weeks count the moment you have sent the maintainer a mail, not every maintainer is really following up the comments. --Ike

Isn't this package already orphaned? I see "Maintainer: None" If so, it is free to adopt, isn't it? -- Elena ``of Valhalla''

I adopted, updated source, and then disowned the package. Dunno if the original maintainer disowned it shortly after this thread started. -- Taylor Lookabaugh

Ah, ok, I thought the orig maintainer updated it before disowning. Thanks. Ciao, Oliver

The orig maintainer sent me enmail and told me that he had disowned the package. Using Cc to his mailadress, when writing to this list, was a good idea I think. Ciao, Oliver
Hello,
the former maintainer has disowned the package,
and he was so nice to update it before.
I now picked it up.
Ciao,
Oliver
