I was tracking the Git activity for this package, and I would never have posted if it was already the case. :) Yes, sometimes even Arch Linux takes longer than 47 minutes after an upstream release to update packages. Two weeks for a major version update that changes lots of dependencies including a move from Qt4 to Qt5, *and* provides libraries against which *other* packages need to be rebuilt? Yeah, this takes time. I'm sorry if my intention was misunderstood. I know it can take time after a major upstream update. Simply, due to no sign of activity for v3.0.0 on staging/testing, I thought it had been forgotten. I *really* appreciate work done by mainteners, and it was not a reproach. Thank you Levente Polyak for the update.

VLC is already updated. It is currently in staging. it is a non-trivial change, and there were other bugs that had to be resolved during the update. https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/vlc=8fcde2c5cf91a0472781dc791ed97388e32947d2 ...

[arch-general] Please update VLC to v3.0.0
Hi everybody, I hope it's the good mailing list to request package update (the bug tracker only says 'the Mailing List'), and I'm sorry if I'm wrong. VLC has been flagged out-of-date on 2018-02-07 (2 weeks ago). Can you update it to v3.0.0, please? Thank you in advance! PS: Sorry for task #57595.
