staging repo so old

hi,
i wonder why the software in the staging repo is so old.

 staging                  [################] 100%      20K   129.7K/s  00:00:00
:: gxine: local version (0.4.5-2) is newer than repo version (0.4.1-s1)
:: skype: local version (1.1.0.13-1) is newer than repo version (0.92.0.12-s1)
:: smb4k: local version (0.6.0-1) is newer than repo version (0.4.1a-s1)

There are many other packages in that repo that needs an update. Updates are available in the AUR!
Are there plans to delete this repo?

Re: staging repo so old

All TURs, including staging, seem to be obsolete by now. I guess it's not even worth keeping 'em in pacman.conf.

Re: staging repo so old

hmm... bad. So plz move all pkgs to extra repo! Without that i have to look after the updates by myself in the AUR. But with pacman i get updates automatically with pacman -Syu! :-)

uncomment the "[community]" section in pacman.conf - if there's packages you want in binary form, you need to vote for them in the AUR ( http://aur.archlinux.org ) - the TUs do not build every AUR package, because there's too many to deal with and they may be a waste of space - but we try to build all packages with high votes.

Re: staging repo so old

So anyone can take packages from staging, update them if needed, and add them to AUR.  Is that correct?  Logically, I would have thought that, due to their status, the packages in staging would bypass the voting system and be directly added to extra or community.  :?
