Just a small note, since i noticed you were not all that inactive i've also sent you a mail. Why did you not respond to it, then the package would'nt been orphaned at all. -- Ike ps: for all the thunderbird users out there, i know my signature will not be valid. please use something that works like mutt, claws mail, kmail, whatever.
--- Begin Message ---Dear gadget3000, Could you please update your xflux package to the AUR packaging standards. There is an orphan request for this package but I see you are fairly active so i leave the choice with you. If you are no longer interested in the xflux package, orphan it yourself or take a note of the comments given for improving the pkgbuild. thx -- Ike ps: for all the thunderbird users out there, i know my signature will not be valid. please use something that works like mutt, claws mail, kmail, whatever.
