ABS Stopped Updating?

I've noticed over the last few days that the ABS repo does not appear to be receiving the latest PKGBUILDs.
I believe normally ABS is updated once per day (usually around 6 PM EDT), but there are some packages that haven't been updated for several days.

Take libinput for example...

The latest compiled version on the mirrors is 1.3.2-1.
I think this came out within the last 24 hours, so I wouldn't expect it to be in ABS yet.
However, the version I get from ABS (after performing a full sync) is 1.3.0-2, which is two versions old.
Furthermore, the last commit in Arch's package source repo is 1.3.1-1 (https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … s/libinput)

libinput is one example, but the same issue exists with other packages as well.
In fact, it appears that there haven't been any commits to the package repo in the last 4 days.

Is there some kind of maintenance going on?

There's not much info, but see this mailing list thread: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/a … 41453.html

Ok, that makes sense.

As long as the devs are aware of the issue and working on it then that's fine.
I will wait patiently

You can always use asp instead. ABS is old and unmaintained.

Well, I don't normally use ABS directly.
I normally use yaourt -Sb (not sure where it pulls the PKGBUILD from...might be ABS).

But in this case I don't think it would make a difference since the source repos themselves aren't being updated.
