[aur-requests] [PRQ#31711] Orphan Request for ffmpeg-git
evelynmarie [1] filed an orphan request for ffmpeg-git [2]: This package has not been maintained since April 2021. Yes, it is a "-git" package, however ffmpeg is rapidly changing and as such requires continuous changes in order for it to continue building via the AUR. I would like to potentially take over the package also. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/evelynmarie/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ffmpeg-git/
Request #31711 has been rejected by dbermond [1]: When an upstream software is "rapidly changing" (to quote you), it does not necessarily means that the package needs maintainer action/update. Since the date you provided (april/2021), the package was building and working fine. Only recently at the very last few days, the need of a maintenance action was needed, when the vmaf requirement raised to >= 2.0 (and the package is now updated for this). There is no need to regularly update a VCS package if it does not need maintainer action. Please don't send orphan requests in this situation. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/dbermond/
