Just a curiosity,
when we set "out of date" on a package, the packager responsable get some form of alert (for example an email) about that?

Those packagers have an eye on their packages. They will know when a package has been flagged.

Yes, they get mail.

Unless they disable that feature like I do. Then that mail goes to /dev/null :-)

in that case, does /dev/null update the package for you?

what do you think about a request update in a +1 way?

That sounds really annoying...

so the better way, when you "need" an updated pacakge is contact the packager by mail?

All packagers can see their out-of-date packages (and everyone elses) on our internal dashboard. We also have a list of long-out-of-date packages to remind us.

Sure, lets annoy them even further, that may speed things up....
if you 'need' an updated package, build it yourself.

If a package has been out-of-date for a while (and by that I mean more than a couple of weeks...), and you have a working updated PKGBUILD, then it is acceptable to post it to the arch-general mailing list.
