Ok my bad. I don't see it was a local link... By trying to update this package i discovered that we need an oracle account and accept a license to be able to download the Zip files needed to installation. I don't believe this is simply scriptable in a PKGBUILD. So, we can: 1 - Delete the package 2 - Update the package and asking to user which want to build package to manually download zip files from oracle.com What would you prefer? I would prefer the latter.

This means that he's active and can either fix the package in question (ri-li) or disown it in case he doesn't want to maintain it anymore. Yes, I'm alive and active, and I can either fix (if Marc sends me the new patch) or disown the package. Let me know what road to take. Patch sent.

[aur-general] Moving calibre and unetbootin to [community]
Hi guys, I'd like to move calibre [1] and unetbootin [2] to [community] repo. As you see, respectively they have 435 and 1401 votes. What do you think about? Opinions?

[aur-general] Delete request for thunderbird-spell-pl
Hi, I wasn't aware that thunderbird allows using global myspell dictionaries and uploaded deleted package thunderbird-spell-pl, which is now obsolete, because there is hunspell-pl in AUR. Regards Krzysztof Grygiencz -- Księgowa radzi: Jak załozyć firmę w 15 minut? http://linkint.pl/f2842

Well, it's not a surprise anymore for these two :( So I say, bring 'em in :) If we really want to wait out for that thing, then I say we officially declare a TU hiatus. Otherwise, it has no effect and we can carry on adopting as and when we like.

This message marks the beginning of the 5-day discussion period before the amendment is put to a vote. Can we get that as a patch so I may apply it to the hosted version if the vote passes? The content should probably be on the mailing list as well. We can compare-and-contrast better looking at a patch, so +1 to that. yes, please provide a patch. Ronald
