I noticed that tlm created teamviewer-stable package since, in his opinion Hilinus, the current maintainer of Teamviewer isn't doing a good job.
I think this is not the way it should go.
In my opinion, if Hilinus isn't maintaining properly, the package should be orphaned and then maintained by someone else, perhaps tlm. There probably is a standard protocol for these kind of issues.
The current way creates a mess in the AUR.
See this comment on Teamviewer:
Comment by: tlm on Mon, 28 May 2012 13:56:52 +0000 This package is out of date and seems the maintainer doesn't care. I've uploaded a "teamviewer-stable" package. Please use that instead.
Greets,
Christian.

Someone flagged the package as out-of-date at 13:34 GMT[1], and 20 minutes later tlm uploaded the new one. We should probably delete tlm's package[2] instead.

I agree, the older package is version 7.0.9348-1, the newer one by tlm is 7.0.9350-3, which is just slightly newer.
Is stupid, he is just eagerness for take over the package. I use teamviewer and the current maintainer update the package very often (more than I'd like).

Have you guys been in touch with him yet? I'm sure someone else will gladly take over the package if he's no longer interested

Guys / gals,
Can someone with administrative power either merge these two packages or delete tlm's package instead? These two packages will confuse (new) AUR/Teamviewer users and Hilinus' package was always and is updated just fine.
Thanks!

I removed tlm package. Everyone seems happy with the current maintainer.
