Is there a way to submit a one-shot update to an Aur package without becoming the maintainer?
Aur Mods, I updated https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mongodb44 to build with the last 4.4.29 source and patched for boost 1.86. The package builds fine now against current Arch. I wanted to pass on the results of those efforts and update the Aur package, but didn't want to take on the maintainer role from here on out. Is there a way to provide an update for the package and bring in back into date without becoming the maintainer? I still have to merge a few patches and roll a couple of sed substitutions from the PKGBUILD into a final boost 1.86 patch, but I'm happy to package and sign a package source and provide that to you for update. There was about 8 hours of effort to find and fix all the issue, I'd like to make that available to whoever may need the 4.4 version of mongodb. I didn't think I'd ever need it, but it is the last version that wasn't built requiring avx - so it is useful if you need it for those cases. Let me know. Also has my sentence to the moderated list been served? I'm still a bit bewildered about what prompted that and who signed off on it. Let me know there too. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
