[aur-general] Out-of-date notifications
Hi, I'm still a bit new to mantaining AUR packages. The other day I noticed one of my packages (rednotebook) was flagged to be out of date due to an upstream update, but I noticed just because I was checking my AUR account by chance. Now it's updated and luckily the flag was set just a couple of days before I noticed. However, I wonder whether I should have gotten an email telling me that the package was outdated. I'm pretty sure I didn't get any message and I do have the notifications for my packages activated, for sure. Am I supposed to get an email when someone flags one of my packages? Of course, I'll keep my eyes more open. Thanks! Eugenio

Yes. Maybe check what email you used for AUR subscription.
Of course, I'll keep my eyes more open.
Thanks! Eugenio

I am not at all new to the AUR and I also had one comment that did not generate a notification mail on 2015-10-13 19:08 CET. Later comments (from this week) invoked notification mails, even on the same package. (I didn't have recent out of date notifications) So I guess there was a problem with the mail server or service but it is solved now. -- JonnyJD

I filed a bug report FS46742 [1] a couple of days ago about this exact problem since it affected me as well. However like already mentioned: It should be solved by now through a patch [2] by Lukas Fleischer (the main aurweb maintainer). The problem occurred due to a regression introduced in an earlier commit and was not a hardware/server problem.

Hi, Thanks for filing that bug. In any case, I'll do what you guys have suggested me and keep an eye over the projects I am packaging until this gets fixed. Thanks for your insight to everyone! Eu.

If upstream uses github or something like that, you can do what I do. I watch the project, so when the upstream devs create a new release I get an e-mail from github telling me so. And you can also know what is happening with the project more closely.
Am I supposed to get an email when someone flags one of my packages? Yes, you're supposed to get an e-mail. But it won't hurt to login now and then on the aur page.
Cheers, Giancarlo Razzolini
I've noticed the same problem -- someone had flagged one of my packages OOD four or five days ago, but I only just noticed today after checking my packages on the web interface. My email is correct, and I am still receiving comment notifications on the packages I am subscribed to, I simply have no record of anyone flagging my package out-of-date. I had assumed that I must've unknowingly misclicked at some point, and that you don't get notifications if you're the person who flags your own package. If other people have had the same problem, then perhaps there is a bug. Cheers, WorMzy

That might explain why there are so many packages that I use that are marked out of date and have been for a bit: warning: cargo-bin is flagged out of date warning: google-chrome is flagged out of date warning: rssguard is flagged out of date warning: xjobs is flagged out of date And why the qt5-doc package is still out of date and breaking dependencies. -- Jonathan Arnold Webstream: http://hieronymus.soup.io If you want to go fast, go alone.

FYI, you can use things like IFTTT and Zapier; github allows you to get atom RSS feeds for things like tags and commits. I have a check that sends me an email when a new tag is pushed to a project I package on the AUR. It's super helpful. - Justin
