Homerun 1.2.0 Not Available for Arch? (KDE)

The new version of the Homerun kicker for KDE was released this Monday, and I when I went to look for it in the AUR the webpage said that kdeplasma-applets-homerun had not been updated since 2013-07-15 18:26.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kdep … s-homerun/

Am I just searching for the wrong package name or is the package not being maintained anymore?  Thanks in advance.

Try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kdep … merun-git/ - it uses the git repo, so it should be up to date.

I think, it is unfair to call that as not maintained anymore. It's an AUR package, the new version is 2 days old and not every AUR maintainer has the time to update the package immediatly.

Also because it is an AUR package, you can easily update that for yourself. Just edit PKGBUILD. Version to 1.2.0 and update the md5sum.

And of course the last update was in July, because that was, when 1.1.0 was released. There is no reason to update the package inbetween releases, if there is no problem with the package.

As the previous poster said, it's been only 'two' days since the new version was released, in the meantime if you still want the new package, here's the pkgbuid I used: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/413612/PKGBUILD

.. or you could just wait for the maintainer to update it.

Sorry I didn't mean any disrespect by my question. As you can probably tell from my post count I'm new around here and I'm still getting used to how things are done in the community. I'll try to learn more about using PKGBUILD and contributing to the AUR.
