Hi Chris,

First, there was more than one packages in AUR (opensmtpd,
opensmtpd-portable, etc). I hope others maintainers will not claims
kinship.
I have contacted, AUR opensmtpd maintainer by mail in march to ask him
to update because the package was was out-of-date since weeks. He
doesn't answer and it's not the same email that Hugo. I'm wondering if
Hugo was maintainer of opensmtpd for more than 2 weeks.

I usually  post a comment before removing package from AUR to notify
the old maintainer. Do I have forgot?
I think y're *very* light when you claims: you didn't contact the maintainer.

Anyway, it's pure courtesy and not really the real reason of the complain.

Secondly, I confirm, there was no rush. To give you more context, I've
my own opensmtpd package running on my computers since the first
releases of opensmtpd. Before pushing the package I telling myself :
"Oh I it works correctly on my stuff for weeks, it's on abs for 1
week, I can push it to community".
So, I'm not a serial packager !

Emotional comments, like your and Hugo come time to time, usually on
aur-general, when packages are moved from AUR to community. AUR
PKGBUILD are _not_ the property of the maintainer (even if he's a good
guy who drink beer) and sending a mail can be automated by AUR to says
: "You're package have been removed. Thanks for you support :)"

Cheers,
