Hi all, Just realized http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11191 is orphaned, and that there's quite a few comments below specifying exactly how to update it. Considering how many packages depend on it, I'm surprised its orphaned, but when I checked the PKGBUILD its a well-recognized name. Should I just adopt this package to update it and orphan it? Or is it more polite to wait for Pierre since I think its his package based on the name there. Or does the orphan indicate he doesn't want this package anymore? Thanks. Ng Oon-Ee

An orphaned package is orphaned. If you can help, by all means go for it.

Hi Jan, I see you've got libstdc++5 in [extra]. I'll patch up the PKGBUILD, but would lib32-libstdc++5 be under consideration for [multilib]?

You got the wrong Jan. :p If you want to propose a package, post to the multilib mailing list.
