Fork their git repo (github makes this easy), add and commit your changes, and set your PKGBUILD to use your forked version. You can use git format-patch to send things back to them, or send a pull request through github or some other medium. The individual project will determine what's the best method.

I'm torn on it, but I think mostly that given maintainership, community is a better place. If it's orphaned or otherwise not quite maintained, it makes more sense to move it to unsupported. Arch-Games was intended to be a supplement to community, not to replace it. It's fine to move it for maintenance issues, but I don't think there should be many reasons aside from that. > At the same time, I understand that there is only a small proportion of > users who actually play games and thus the size/usage ratio is probably > not justifiable. While understandable, I don't think it's too great to follow that concept very far. If we have official repos split by purpose, we may as well do it with other things than just games, and that could easily be ugly. > If we were to do this, PKGBUILDs and local source files should be made > available for the games, preferably in a $repo.abs.tar.gz package as > I've previously requested for arch-games (not sure if that went > anywhere). > Well the short version is that abs expects a certain svn layout which we are nowhere close to and can't copy, as devtools (or dbscripts, whichever) relies on an svn feature that I don't believe git has. We could do it in other ways, but I really find that the simple method we have now works well. It's a tradeoff - git is easier to maintain, svn is more complicated but the feature that the repos use to make the repos/ area allows a guarantee that a PKGBUILD matches the .pkg in the repo.

If a similar situation comes up again, make sure that you use the "flag out of date" button on the arch website, and you can also send a working PKGBUILD to the maintainer to get it update faster. If it's orphan, send it to arch-general. Thanks

[aur-general] Split package pkgrel/arch issue
I'm maintaining tremulous in community, and I'd like to split it into tremulous and tremulous-data, to save space and bandwidth for both mirrors and users, as well as making it a lot easier to package alternate clients. The problem I'm running into right now is that dbscripts can't handle packages with different pkgrel/arch lines in a split package.[1] The arch issue isn't pressing, since I could just silently update -data later (replace the i686 and x86_64 packages with one -any package without updating pkgrel). This should be seamless for users, and there's no reason to bump pkgrel because the change has no effect for users who have -data already installed. The other issue though, is that I'd like to set tremulous (the client package) to -6 (it's at -5), while keeping -data and pkgrel 1. I tried to commit this, but the dbscripts errored out saying it couldn't find data 1.1.0-6. What's my best course of action here? I see them as 1) Wait for dbscripts support. I don't want to do this because the 1.2 beta was recently released, and it would depend on -data. I'd rather not keep users waiting 2) Put out -data with pkgrel=6, then once dbscripts support is added, either a) Reset pkgrel to 1 with "force", or b) Continue from -6 going up to -7, etc. This feels ugly to me.

Personally I've always found the current behavior very annoying. Why not just generate the arch standard names for the depends array and let the packager work it out if that isn't correct? Defaulting to the standard seems better than defaulting to print everything, most of which gets removed by hand. It's the single biggest peeve I have with pacpan. (Not to say that I don't find it useful.)
