[aur-general] nvidia-ice needs to be updated
The nvidia-ice package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15441 hasn't been updated in over a year. Can the powers at be transfer the maintenance of the package over to me? My username is cian1500ww. Thanks.

Thanks.
Have you contacted the maintainer over e-mail and waited two weeks for response? If yes, ask for orphaning the package. If not, contact him. Trusted Users can't just transfer maintenance of one package from one person to another.
No, I'll send the maintainer an email now. I didn't think there would be any need seeing as it hasn't been updated in over a year. On 24 October 2012 22:00, Alexandre Ferrando <alferpal@gmail.com> wrote:

Shameless plug - why not just use nvidia-all (or nvidia-beta-all if that floats your boat). nvidea-X packages, where X is some custom kernel, tend to have very low usage since usage of X kernel to begin with is pretty low, and nvidia-X usage must be a subset of that.

Didn't know it existed :) I've adapted the nvidia-all package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32908 and updated it for 304.60. I used your PKGBUILD from the nvidia-beta-all package but changed it slightly so that it doesn't build the module for the linux-mainline kernel. I'm currently maintaining the nvidia-mainline package and I think it's better to keep them seperate as the nvidia-mainline package regularly needs patching to compile against the mainline kernel.

Getting a bit off-topic here, but if it regularly needs patching take a look at the example patch given with nvidia-beta-all (PKGBUILD includes logic to include arbitrary patches if the names match from the srcdir). On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 9:24 PM, Cian Mc Govern <cian@cianmcgovern.com> wrote:

I considered doing that but the package would need to be updated more often to allow for changes to patches and I think that would be an unnecessary inconvenience for anyone that is using nvidia-all but not using linux-mainline. It doesn't make a huge difference overall to me so I don't mind maintaining them as seperate packages. On 25 October 2012 15:03, Oon-Ee Ng <ngoonee.talk@gmail.com> wrote:
