Have you mailed the maintainer? As a general policy we wait a week before orphaning after you have contacted the maintainer expressing your desire to adopt to package. --Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/

At least two weeks would be my minimum. It's perfectly possible that someone is just on holiday / vacation. It wouldn't be nice to come back and find all your lovingly crafted PKGBUILDs taken off your hands! Pete.

No need. A week is sufficient for packages that have been marked out-of-date for so long. The maintainer is a TU so I've CC'ed him. He can orphan it for you if he doesn't foresee himself maintaining it.

Yeah agreed. I just think that as a general rule we need to allow for more than a week from the first notification. But as you say, if the package has long been marked out-of-date, then that's obviously what the whole flagging system is for! :-) Pete.

Tbh. I don't know for how long it has been flagged, but I assume it's been a while because the last release was in 2009. However, I just now see that it's a prerelease, dated 21/05/2009 Anyway, there are comments about problems with the PKGBUILD from 30 Mar 2010 and apparently no response at all. The PKGBUILD, from the looks of it, hasn't been touched since 2008 and has a couple of apparent issues. Thanks for CC'ing, I didn't suspect him being a TU.
