[aur-general] Broken libdbf in the AUR

Hi,

I ran into issues building
libdbf<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libdbf/> on
my machine - and apparently I'm not the only one. It seems like the package
is broken.
It wasn't enough to simply add my architecture to the PKGBUILD, I also
followed cassava's instructions to fix the name conflict in endian.{h,c}

Since it looks like the original project is long dead on Berlios (and still
using CVS), I moved the code over to
Github<https://github.com/quentindemetz/libdbf> where
it will have increased visibility.
I'd like to update the PKGBUILD to use this new source (
https://github.com/quentindemetz/libdbf/archive/0.0.2.tar.gz or
https://github.com/quentindemetz/libdbf/archive/0.0.2.zip).

I've contacted the package's maintainer. but have yet to receive a
response. What's next?

Thanks,

Quentin
