Hello Marcell,
Thanks for the quick response. Not trying to be combative or anything, but my question was 12 days ago. =]
Either way, the package has not been updated since the day after it was submitted (by the original maintainer). I thought (maybe incorrectly) that VCS packages were supposed to generally keep up with upstream. This package (version 2.8.0) is behind the main release (2.8.4). Upstream is 2.10.x currently.
You make a good point though. I did not think to actually look up the user specifically, and I made the assumption that he was inactive. I will give him more time. =]
Thank you!
