[IDEA] AUR colored outdated package in dependencies

Hi, what do you think on marking an color (for example orange) outdated pages in dependencies?

It's for easier check what packages are total up-to-date and for finding orphans what need maintainer (like me, who's new but want to learn a lot)

Why not just look at the packages themselves, which do indicate when they are flagged out-of-date??? If you want to find orphans that need maintainers, why would you be looking in the package dependencies list, specifically?

conservative.... god why...

why not should we do AUR more colored? color on outdated package is more usefull information. with my idea we can find more important to awake package, also find for new maintainer should go a lot faster. Its only for dependencies! not for search!

An exclamation mark next to the dependent package in question, when on a package's specific AUR page that requires it, would probably be better if so.  You could even colour the exclamation mark.  The reason for a different glyph is because some people don't see all colours.

Read the Code of Conduct and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cod … s_and_code

Colour should only be an option that people can enable or not. Patches welcome.
