[Solved] linux-rc outdated, can i release an updated pkg?

Said package 'linux-rc' is outdated, am I allowed to release an up-to-date version? It's already been marked as outdated.

Graysky is usually fairly prompt updating their packages.
It was only marked as out of date earlier today so it's still far to early to get it orphaned and take over the package yourself.


No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Another question, when I marked it as outdated it instantly turned outdated. Isn't there supposed to be like a verification, or a mod reviewing first?

No.
Anyone can revert the flag if it's incorrect (as has been done since your last post).

Re: [Solved] linux-rc outdated, can i release an updated pkg?

since linux-rc is the latest rc of 5.18.13, can I make linux-rc-bleeding or something of the like with 5.19-rc7?

You could but it will probably be deleted by a TU for providing the same package with just an updated version.
If you really can't wair a day or two for Graysky to update their package then just use your updated version locally in the meantime.
A better solution for your title would have just been to remove one or two of the meaningless words so you could fit [SOLVED] at the beginning.
Now it makes no sense at all...

No, the thread title is effectively useless... Fix it.

My main email works, just I've added filters to prevent bad stuff from popping up in spam and inbox. And half the time those filters delete all the important ones and leave all the needed ones. Though it usually moves them to trash, not delete them entirely. Anyway, I responded to the email. This topic can now be considered solved as the title suggests.

That wouldn't quite be accurate.  Graysky doesn't intend to update the linux-rc to the latest mainline kernels, just the latest stable release candidates.  So a package tracking the latest mainline could have a place in the AUR.  I'm quite confident of this last point as there is, and long has beeen, a linux-mainline package in the AUR.  And guess what version it's on currently: 5.19-rc7.

So a putative linux-rc-bleeding would not be removed for being a newer version of linux-rc, it would be deleted for being an exact duplicate of linux-mainline.

The above points are abundantly clear (and have been repeated several times and have been included in a pinned comment) on the AUR page of linux-rc.

Alright! Understood.
