at the moment, there are 2 big tasks running - gcc 4.0.1 migration - .la file elimination ... and openssl 0.98 is waiting to be done too... and then there is qt4 that is out ... this means that all new pkgs that are dependend on gcc or deps go to [testing] first. that's why there is not that much activity in CURRENT but a lot in TESTING. | As an example take links: Last | Updated: 2005-04-04, ok i contacted dorphell on irc and let him know, | but still no update. did you updated it for yourself to try if it builds against gcc 4.0.1 (ABS)? if it does not build, this may be the reason why it is not updated yet.... there are of course other reasons that may be possible ... btw: try "elinks" ;-) | Or bluefish Last Updated: 2005-07-09. There have been 2 new versions | since then, pkg is flagged out-of-date and still nothing... http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/ has only the 1.0.2... can you point me to some other place that has newer versions? | Are the maintainers so busy? I understand they may have a lot of work, | but replacing pkgver in PKGBUILD and compiling both of the packages | took me about 3 minutes, so it's not that time-consuming. against [testing] or [current]? thanx + greetings, Damir -- We are each entitled to our own opinion, but no one is entitled to his own facts. -- Patrick Moynihan
