[aur-general] Update request for supertuxkart
Hi TUs,
may I request an update of supertuxkart in [community]?
It's already flagged as out-of-date since 2011-04-15 and was last updated on 2010-12-21. Meanwhile the third update was released by upstream. The latest version in [community] is 0.7, the latest upstream version is 0.7.3.
So it would be nice if it would be updated in [community], too.

This has come up a bunch of times already. I can't update due to incompatible irrlicht versions. They need a version of irrlicht that is not released and I'm not going to package irrlicht straight from svn. I've bothered irrlicht about a release 3 times this year but obviously to no avail.
So sorry, the stk devs made a fairly stupid decision and I can't help it. I wont patch the hell out of stk either.

That is for upstream to do, if they're so dependent on devel versions of software.

If you really want to have the latest supertuxkart... why not create a seperate package for 0.7.3 in the aur? irrlicht-svn already exists at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50818 so I don't know what the problem is.

supertuxkart-svn exists: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37048
and depends on the aforementioned irrlicht-svn
p.s. If you really want to be bleeding edge, you might be able to update the supertuxkart-svn PKGBUILD, as a newer revision is available.

A better solution is likely to package irrlicht straight from svn but I'm not sure I feel comfortable with that.
It would at least need to conflict.

This is what upstream of supertuxkart has written: "note that at this time SuperTuxKart uses irrlicht trunk, so you may need to build and install irrlicht from their SVN. We hope irrlicht 1.8 will be released soon and then distributions can start including it in their repositories"
http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/Installation
And here is a thread in the forums of irrlicht upstream about that: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=37207&star...
To the question "When is 1.8 due to get out ?" someone replied among others: "You can get the SVN right now, conveniently through Irrlicht Nightly Builds."
So maybe you should indeed still hold off updating both. I mean supertuxkart 0.7 works and there are -svn packages in AUR if someone needs them. I just didn't know about the dependency issues.

Alright then. In general, if an Arch package isn't updated, there usually is a good reason.

But it could have been that you have forgotten it in the meantime. ;-)

An unnecessary joke, when this was obviously not the case here.

It was neither a joke, nor unnecessary, nor obvious. I already said that I didn't know about the dependency issues when I wrote the request.
The last time the package was updated was one year ago and it was six months ago that the package was flagged out-of-date and in the meanwhile upstream has released three updates. So it is thoroughly possible that it could have been forgotten in the meantime. But I already explained that, too.
Sometimes one should read the whole e-mails and/or thread before posting such unnecessary comments.
