Hi all,

Just realized http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11191 is
orphaned, and that there's quite a few comments below specifying exactly
how to update it.

Considering how many packages depend on it, I'm surprised its orphaned,
but when I checked the PKGBUILD its a well-recognized name.

Should I just adopt this package to update it and orphan it? Or is it
more polite to wait for Pierre since I think its his package based on
the name there. Or does the orphan indicate he doesn't want this package
anymore?

Thanks.

An orphaned package is orphaned.
If you can help, by all means go for it.

Hi Jan, I see you've got libstdc++5 in [extra]. I'll patch up the
PKGBUILD, but would lib32-libstdc++5 be under consideration for
[multilib]?

You got the wrong Jan.

If you want to propose a package, post to the multilib mailing list.

What? I thought they were all interchangeable.
