Roberto Carvajal is not a responsible package maintainer

it's time for Archlinux devs to realize that.

I bugged IRC a few times about that, most of his packages are maintainer: None

but with him as a packager Arch is slower than Debian in updating. visit:

http://www.videolan.org/#NEWS1 [see date]

and

http://www.archlinux.org/packages.php?id=583

now it has been 4 months and nothing happend.

I like Arch, I read Judd's recent mail, and I do not like Roberto or anyother to make it sound worse than Debian.

I /really/ hope rest of packagers adopt roberto and then rm roberto for good

I usually do not go out and speak like that for a man I do not know, but I think the above 2 links say it all when it comes to him being an packager for arch

cd /var/abs

grep roberto * -r

and I hope 0.7.1 (http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 06444.html) will have this guy out and his packages live in oct

Have you made a bug report?

There maybe a good reason you don't know about so I suggest you consider that before you start airing your dirty laundry in public

So exacty how much did you pay for your Arch Linux system? It must be a lot if you believe you can ask for the removal and replacement of a member of the development team.

This shouldn't need to be said, but Arch is a small distro, and the devs do their Arch work in their spare time, in between their real jobs, their actual lives, etc, etc. You want VLC 0.8.2, or any other bleeding-edge app, so badly? Use ABS and build it yourself. If you don't understand or accept any of this, after 18 months on this board, then Arch may not be the right distro for you.

Contact him or apeiro about it, the developers have their own electoral system.
Posting this in an open forum is frowned upon and does nothing but invite a flamewar. Locking.
