[CLOSED] why lxde components stop updated ?

I see some components of LXDE stopped updated for more than one month, with maintainer: orphan.

Out of 21 LXDE-related packages in the AUR, there's only one orphaned. I don't see what the fuss is about?

If there's something that's orphaned that needs an update, how about doing said update yourself instead of complaining?

Edit the pkgver variable in the pkgbuild to the latest version and try a makepkg to see if it works.

Are you talking about packages in AUR or in [community]?

Sorry, I just said those packages in official packages, not in AUR.

Re: [CLOSED] why lxde components stop updated ?

I just tried building these packages, and at least one of them (lxappearance) is broken by some sloppy Makefile coding. Here is the patch:

--- lxappearance-0.2.1/po/Makefile.in.in    2009-07-05 22:10:34.000000000 +0100
+++ fixed/po/Makefile.in.in    2009-10-06 17:48:05.332385382 +0100
@@ -211,6 +211,7 @@
     cd $(top_builddir) \
       && CONFIG_FILES=$(subdir)/Makefile.in CONFIG_HEADERS= CONFIG_LINKS= \
            $(SHELL) ./config.status
+    touch $@
 
 # Tell versions [3.59,3.63) of GNU make not to export all variables.
 # Otherwise a system limit (for SysV at least) may be exceeded.

The same patch is needed for lxrandr. lxterminal builds fine.

Last update: I submitted the patch to the LXDE forum and tested the new packages a bit - no problems so far. I'd like to tell the arch package maintainer if there was one. Any suggestions?

Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance.
