Re: [aur-general] disown fortune-mod-br
I try to help keep some packages useful for me and for the community, but if bad maintainers are maintaining packages, do not see why this difficulty about getting a package. This discourages me. ------------------------------ have you dropped him an email? there is a 2 week waiting periode. greetings Levente Lara Maia <lara at craft.net.br <https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aur-general>> wrote:

And how would you feel if someone was able to just email this list and take over one of your package for no reason without even attempting to contact you first? I don't understand what's difficult about sending an email.
The package is out of date since 2012! The sistematico adopted the package and not updated until today. He is still using $startdir in the package. I can not understand, what the problem?! -------- And how would you feel if someone was able to just email this list and take over one of your package for no reason without even attempting to contact you first?

And I can't understand what the problem is with sending a simple email.
If the package has been out of date for months, a couple of weeks more can't hurt that bad. Also, if you need an up-to-date version NOW, just download and make the needed changes to the PKGBUILD, even post it in the comments of the package.

Lara, this is not intended to harras you. Doug exactly pointed out what my intention was behind asking you. Besides that there is a "rule" [1] that tells you to do so. Event if this is not a strict rule, its still considered a good habit to ask per mail. Additionally the AUR page says that it was flagged out of date 2013-10-09 (today). btw: you already posted 3 emails to this list, is posting a single email only for good manners and fairness that much of a hustle? greetings Levente [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Other_requests 09.10.2013, 15:39 +0200 Doug Newgard <scimmia22@outlook.com>:

Oh, and as far as being out of date since 2012, it was just flagged today, not in 2012.

Probably you are feeling down and even rejected at this moment after all the responses you have got. Don't feel so! Let me point out that one of the basic tenets of human interaction and the creation of community is the willingness to play by a set of pre-established social rules. You have been called on not following one of those. Nothing more, nothing less. This should not, in any event, discourage you from keeping involved in the AUR! There is a page in the wiki that outlines broadly what those rules are that those of us who participate in some capacity or other in the AUR should follow to make our lives and that of our fellow AUR participants easier. See <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Other_requests> for the actual rule you were called on.
