[aur-general] orca-git abandoned
Hi, This package, orca-git, doesn't build and has been out of date for a long time. The person who used to maintain it has switched to mac (EWWW! GROSS!) I would like to take over this package. I have made the propper modifications and just await permission and just await permission to upload it. Seriously... how could someone switch to mac (or anything else for that matter) after experiencing the total awesomeness that is Arch?

Hi, Have you contacted the person in question and waited a week or two for a reply? (policy) If yes, it would be unproblematic to disown the package. Best regards, Alexander Rødseth xyproto / TU
Hi, No, I have not contacted him. On the other hand, this package hasn't been updated for at least 6 months, possibly longer, it still calls for python2 instead of 3. There are some important changes coming in Orca, and I was hoping to make it easier for people to test. I will send him a mail if it is necessary, but I'm 100% sure of the reply if there is one.

Full ack...It was me who marked it as out of date on friday and imho 2 weeks are too long for the whole process as we'd obviously need to rely on orca-git due to those serious issues with Orca and Firefox which might or might not be fixed within the next days.

And every day you don't mail the current maintainer, the 2 weeks will be even "longer". Just mail him already. Who knows? They may respond tonight and go disown the package on their own, without any need for TU intervention! It *does* happen! -- Frederik "Freso" S. Olesen http://freso.dk/
