Probably because the maintainer doesnt know about it for whatever reasons. Feel free to tweak the PKGBUILD and ask a TU to update it.

In general big delays in Arch repos are made by some technical stuff so I wanted to be sure, thanks, I've sent e-mail to supertuxkart maintainer, lets hope he will receive it

Have you tried building the latest release yourself?

I've tried building the one from the AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37048 but it failed.

I'm copying my reply to that mail here:

I'm quite aware of that package and its state. The new version requires an unreleased version of Irrlicht that I cannot package officially. The only chance of updating the package would be dropping it to AUR. I messaged the Irrlicht devs and they told me that no stable release would be due in quite some time. As such, I have to conclude that the supertuxkart devs have made a fairly ill decision.

Anyhow, it is as it is and without a lot of hacking I couldn't change it. It's also not very Arch-like to patch the hell out of downstream packages, so there you have it.

If you know of any way to fix this unfortunate situation, let me know.

That's exactly what t3ddy, maintainer of supertuxkart-svn in AUR said.

If the new version of supertuxkart works with irrlicht-svn, you can use that, but you have to wait for the official package.

Thanks all of you guys for answers, especially Sven, now situation is clear

PS yep, I'll try svn version, cause newer version of supertuxkart have FSAA support
