I usually do a couple of incremental updates because TeXLive packages also receive continuous updates between 2 yearly releases, and to catch up with bug fixes. The packages are now available in [testing]. They were almost ready for a while but remaining issues had to be fixed and I couldn't find the time until today. You can always contact me through e-mail at r...@archlinux.org. Regards, Rémy.

This is the #1 > rule of the bugtracker. Sorry, I meant feature request. Of course, opening tickets just to say that a package X is out-of-date is silly. But if the project is complex (like texlive-*) then bumping it may not be a simple issue. So if I happen to go through this exercise before the maintainer, how am supposed to communicate the working PKGBUILD, in an open fashion? A ML would be best of course, but arch-general isn't a place for this...

If you really want to see an updated version, open a bugreport and attach there a patched PKGBUILD. And of course, you can always build the latest version locally (just clone the svn trunk and run makepkg)...

It seems like the maintainer hasn't been active for the past 5 months.[1] What is the normal course of action in such a case? For instance, how could I contact the maintainer?
