[Solved] Out-Of-Date Packages In Official Repos
Hello all,
Not really a question, but a general inquiry regarding the whole out-of-date process.
Suppose I encounter an out-of-date package, which is already marked as such, and has been for quite some time (can't really put a number on it), with nothing going on on testing.
In addition, the package maintainer is around, as can be deduced from the fact that other packages he is maintaining has been updated recently.
Is there anything more that can be done to check the "status" of such out-of-date package?
As an example (really, just an example), the qemu package has been marked out-of-date for about 2 weeks, while other packages maintained by the same maintainer have been updated in the last week or so.
Thanks, Adam.

Nope. Remember that no one is paying these guys. If it's package you use, update it and build in ABS.

My guess is that the kernel takes priority over qemu for that developer...

First of all, it was obviously not a complaint, just an honest question.
Anyway, I got what I need, thank you both.
Adam.
