Hi Chris, First, there was more than one packages in AUR (opensmtpd, opensmtpd-portable, etc). I hope others maintainers will not claims kinship. I have contacted, AUR opensmtpd maintainer by mail in march to ask him to update because the package was was out-of-date since weeks. He doesn't answer and it's not the same email that Hugo. I'm wondering if Hugo was maintainer of opensmtpd for more than 2 weeks. I usually post a comment before removing package from AUR to notify the old maintainer. Do I have forgot? I think y're *very* light when you claims: you didn't contact the maintainer. Anyway, it's pure courtesy and not really the real reason of the complain. Secondly, I confirm, there was no rush. To give you more context, I've my own opensmtpd package running on my computers since the first releases of opensmtpd. Before pushing the package I telling myself : "Oh I it works correctly on my stuff for weeks, it's on abs for 1 week, I can push it to community". So, I'm not a serial packager ! Emotional comments, like your and Hugo come time to time, usually on aur-general, when packages are moved from AUR to community. AUR PKGBUILD are _not_ the property of the maintainer (even if he's a good guy who drink beer) and sending a mail can be automated by AUR to says : "You're package have been removed. Thanks for you support :)" Cheers, -- Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer https://www.seblu.net GPG: 0x2072D77A
