I know the rules and followed it: - If the official package is out-of-date, flag it as such. This was done more than *seven* month ago (2022-07-06). - If the official package is broken or is lacking a feature, then please file a bug report. It's lacking an active maintainer. I created a bugreport, not because it is out of date, but because of non-active maintenance. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/75049 This bug was closed with a pretty baffling comment instead of beeing handled. So I decided to make a fork here, just to make an updated package available to everyone and to avoid that more tickets will be created by other people. I like to stress that I don't want to maintain this package - I would be really happy to delete it again, as soon as it gets maintained in the official package repository. --- Now after more than seven months I created another ticket, because of the lacking maintenance. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/77460 This resulted in this deletion request for my aur package and another closure request for my created account ticket - instead of getting the actual issue resolved. I don't get why users get punished just because they want to make issues known, or provide a temporary maintenance. I don't like this tone of communication which seems to be the norm here. Please provide guidance. Best regards and thanks in advance! Ruben Kelevra 11.02.2023 16:23:02 notify@aur.archlinux.org:
