[aur-general] Please orphan newton-dynamics-beta
I sent this request two days ago but it was obviously ignored or no TU has been available for two days, therefore I'm sending it again: Hey, please orphan AUR package newton-dynamics-beta so that I may adopt it. The original author doesn't seem to care and hasn't answered in over a week to mail and comments. Additionally, the package is out of date. -- Sven-Hendrik

It's possible that he's on holidays or in a situation that prevents him from updating his package and replying to e-mails. I would suggest to wait a couple more weeks before taking any action.

Not to be contrary, but usually people just say And the guy hasn't responed for a while and that is enough for it to get orphaned. Additionally, this package is out of date. It's theoretically possible that he went on vacation 8 days ago, and it became out of date 7 days ago, and this request came in after that... but it doesn't seem likely. What would be nice is a TU standard for how long the person must not respond for before the package gets orphaned. Perhaps one week is too short, but it'd be nice to be consistent. -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp. (http://www.xandros.com)

Is there perhaps a wiki page people can think of to put this? -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp. (http://www.xandros.com) Just to let you guys know, I just caught the maintainer on IRC and he did indeed forget about his packages. Needless to say, the package in question is now mine (power to me!) and I will care for it like it is my only child. -- Sven-Hendrik
