[aur-general] Out of date: clasp, gringo
Hi, I am the packager of aspcud and aspcud-svn, an important dependency solver for the OPAM OCaml package manager. Two dependencies, clasp and gringo, have been already packaged in AUR, but are out of date, and I can't reach the current packager (Mails get unanswered). Therefore I ask for those two packages to be orphaned, I would maintain them myself. Cheers, Vincent

This is what package-hijacking looks like.

Is it? The previous maintainer has never voted, and their last action on the AUR, as far as I can tell, was June of last year. The only remaining package they have is out of date as of a month ago, in addition to clasp and gringo. I don't think there's any unwarranted "hijacking" happening here. Tangentially related, I think it would make sense to forward the unanswered email (with bounceback, if appropraite) from the current maintainer with any disown request. I think this is a simple measure to try and keep people honest in their requests. Maybe I'm just overly wary of people... d

I see that Vincent asked to update the package via comments 26 days ago https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clasp/ I have no reason don't trust him about "can't reach the current packager".

Unless I'm completely insane, you're talking about the submitter, not the previous maintainer (me, though again I could be delusional)--as far as I can tell, there is no (public) mechanism that reveals intermediate {orphan,adopt} history.

No, you're not insane. I shouldn't try to sleuth around these things before I've had coffee. Regardless, Vincent provided evidence that he contacted the current maintainer (thank you!) some time ago.

His messages suggests he merely contacted the submitter (not-me)--not the previous maintainer (me).
