[aur-general] Please orphan "newton-dynamics-beta"
I sent this request two days ago but it was obviously ignored or no TU has been available for two days, therefore I'm sending it again: Hey, please orphan AUR package "newton-dynamics-beta" so that I may adopt it. The original author doesn't seem to care and hasn't answered in over a week to mail and comments. Additionally, the package is out of date. -- Sven-Hendrik

Hi, One week isn't that long. It's possible that he's on holidays or in a situation that prevents him from updating his package and replying to e-mails. I would suggest to wait a couple more weeks before taking any action.

Not to be contrary, but usually people just say "And the guy hasn't responed for a while" and that is enough for it to get orphaned. Additionally, this package is out of date. It's theoretically possible that he went on vacation 8 days ago, and it became out of date 7 days ago, and this request came in after that... but it doesn't seem likely. What would be nice is a TU standard for how long the person must not respond for before the package gets orphaned. Perhaps one week is too short, but it'd be nice to be consistent. -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp. (http://www.xandros.com)

Two weeks sounds like a good amount of time. Is there perhaps a wiki page people can think of to put this? -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp. (http://www.xandros.com)
If not, it would be good :) Sincerelly, Laszlo Papp 2009/7/13 Andrei Thorp <garoth@gmail.com>

Just to let you guys know, I just caught the maintainer on IRC and he did indeed forget about his packages. Needless to say, the package in question is now mine (power to me!) and I will care for it like it is my only child. -- Sven-Hendrik
