[aur-general] DestroyTwitter
How long do I have to wait before a package would be concidered to be orphaned. I left a comment containing how the PKGBUILD should be done and the next day emailed the maintainer, and I have not a response yet. It has been roughly 3-4 days. The current PKGBUILD is really messy in my opinion and I linked to a much cleaner version and still uses $startdir. Thanks

I'd wait at least 8 days or so. Sometimes people go on vacation or are otherwise unavailable, etc. -- Ranguvar [Devin Cofer]
Alright, I will wait :) If it does become orphaned, I am interested in taking it. I already have some Twitter applications already, not mentioning other packages :D On Sun, Aug 22, 2010 at 2:10 AM, Ranguvar <ranguvar@archlinux.us> wrote:

Indeed. In the UK it's quite normal to go on holiday for two weeks or so, especially in August. If I'd been away and found that my stuff had been orphaned while I was sunning myself, I think I'd be a little disappointed. Cheers, Pete.
Yeah I can imagine how it would feel, though I would be interested in DestroyTwitter if the maintainer doesn't answer. I already have a cleaner version of the package ready to be used :) On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 7:52 AM, Peter Lewis <pete@muddygoat.org> wrote:
