[SOLVED] Is MythtTV still being maintained ?
I was wondering if (or how I can check) the MythTV package for archlinux is still being maintained ?
I prefer to use the supported package instead of AUR, but the package has not been updated with he new version (0.27.1) that has been released on May 27th.
It has been flagged as out of date on May 29th, but still no update till now, and I am really looking forward to the bugfixes that are part of it
How can I check if the maintainer is still actively maintaining the package or how can I contact him ?
In this case that would be Balló György.

See number 6: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130138
If you want the supported package in the repo, then wait for it to be ready. if you want it now, use the -git package in the AUR.
How can I check if the maintainer is still actively maintaining the package or how can I contact him ?

If it was no longer maintained, it would be dropped from the [community] repo. His email address is right after his name in the pacman -Si output.

No currently there is no MythTV package in testing. I really do prefer a package that is being maintained, especially for mythtv...

This 0.27.3 is now available in the community repo, so "problem" solved
