Hi,

six weeks ago, i asked for advise how to deal with the
outdated AUR package of my program xorriso, which overwrites
the executables of the properly maintained package
  https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=libisoburn

On advise of this list, i later posted comments to
  https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xorriso/
  https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xorriso-tcltk/
which received no reply and did not cause any activity.

A month ago i wrote to the published mail address of the
maintainer "dreieck". No reaction since then.

What can i do to instigate the resolution of this mess ?
Meanwhile the AUR package "xorriso" overwrites the current
"libisoburn" version xorriso-1.3.2 by a xorriso version,
which is three releases and 8 months older. Between both
releases there happened 13 bug fixes.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
