Yep, I've seen that button, but I'm not sure anybody wants a lawyer maintain any package :p I see some that I'm pretty sure I could do (RPM, yum, etc), but I am no wizard with PKGBUILDs or solving problems when sources won't build due to compiler changes, etc.. So rather than creating frustrations for everyone, I thought I would raise the orphan issue to see how to handle it. If there is somewhere to turn for help when I run into build issues I can't solve, then I wouldn't mind picking up a couple of packages so they can be kept current. What nobody needs when trying to help is to be lambasted for not being able to solve those types of problems -- I sure don't need it. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
