Seems unlikely. Most packagers on the AUR don't have much contact with upstream at all (unless they are upstream themselves). > To be honest, I am very surprised that both libnss-mysql and nss-mysql > are such ghosts...

There's a libnss-pgsql but it seems similarly outdated. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libnss-pgsql/ > > Thank you for your answers, I have the information I needed! > JWHS.
