I would like to join this discussion. it's not very motivatingif you work on a package (you are the owner) and then someone is going to upgrade it. We have a lot of packages unmaintained and we do not have the resources for different packagers doing the same work. I guess, the kde upgrade now has to be completed because it broke the caulron boxes. I know kamil has worked on upgrading boost and this morning I saw it pushed by someone else. We all need help once in a while, maybe asking the maintainer would help? -- Best regards Thomas Spuhler
