[aur-general] Disown request: dayplanner
Hello, there is a new version of dayplanner[1] since the 28th of March and the package is marked as outdated since 08th of August and there's no reaction from the maintainer. I have a working PKGBUILD for the new version and I already added an AUR package for perl-date-holidayparser[2], which is a dependency for the new version, so it would be nice if a TU could disown it that I can become the maintainer. Thanks. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12499 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=62205
Did you email the maintainer and waited out the two weeks period? On Aug 22, 2012 6:05 AM, "Robert Knauer" <robert@privatdemail.net> wrote:

I didn't email the maintainer, but the package has been flagged out of date 2 weeks ago, so he also got an e-mail 2 weeks ago and didn't react with a package update or at least a comment to explain why he can't update.
You still have to email him/her personally per the rules of the AUR. I'm not sure if the notification feature effects just the comments, or also the out of date flag. Sorry for top posting, gmail's client sucks on the phone. On Aug 22, 2012 6:55 AM, "Robert Knauer" <robert@privatdemail.net> wrote:

The maintainer does get an email when a package is flagged, but there _might_ be a good reason why it has not been updated. It's best to send an email to be sure. jsteel

Well, there are more outdated packages from this maintainer[1], some of them even with an updated PKGBUILD in the comments, but no comment from the maintainer. Anyway, I wrote an e-mail and I will wait for an answer, but I think this is wasted time. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=tdy&do_Search=Los&detail=1&C=0&...

Write the maintainer a personal mail and if there hasn't been any reaction in the next two weeks revive this thread and one of us TUs will orphan it for you. In the meantime you could post your PKGBUILD as a comment so other users can use it too, also he/she can update it using that one. -- Jabber: atsutane@freethoughts.de Blog: http://atsutane.freethoughts.de/ Key: 295AFBF4 FP: 39F8 80E5 0E49 A4D1 1341 E8F9 39E4 F17F 295A FBF4
