New libupnp-PKGBUILD (1.4.1)

Hi!

I'm new to Arch, but it easily replaced Ubuntu on my desktop.

While installing libupnp I noticed there's an old version in AUR. I updated the PKGUILD and wanted to upload to AUR, but I'm not allowed to overwrite the existing file.

Additional Information: The URL of the libupnp project has changed. There are no new releases on the old project anymore. The new URL is http://pupnp.sourceforge.net. It is highly encouraged to upgrade as old versions had some issues (ask phoenix@amule.org for details) and most important much worse hardware support.

pkgname=libupnp
pkgver=1.4.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An SDK for development of UPnP device and control point applications for Linux."
url="http://pupnp.sourceforge.net/"
options=('NOLIBTOOL')
license="BSD"
depends=()
source=([url]http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pupnp/libupnp-$pkgver.tar.gz[/url])
md5sums=('f3b55c24ff77ee6789d758ec1634d5e7')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/libupnp-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install

  install -D LICENSE $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE
}

Would be nice if someone could review my PKGBUILD and upload it to AUR/allow me to upload.

Anyone who could tell me what to do? The package is orphaned, but I cannot overwrite it. (Of course, it's my first contribution and it could be something evil.)

Create an aur user account if you don't have one yet

Goto AUR  & LOGIN

select packages, search for libupnp

     community      lib      libupnp 1.3.1-1         1             An SDK for development of UPnP device and control point applications for Linux.      orphan

At the start of the above line there's a checkbox , select it
click 'adopt packages'
This will make you the maintainer of the package, now you can upload new versions

You can't update the package because it is in the community repo. Only TU can do that. I'll do the update tonight. BTW, next time you see a package out-of-date in AUR, flag it out-of-date. I've flagged it this time.

Thank you both.

next time you see a package out-of-date in AUR, flag it out-of-date.

I'll do, but I wasn't logged in and thus couldn't see the link to flag it out-of-date.
