Out-of-date flag?

OK, I'm closing this thread. We have an established system for requesting package updates, and that is the out-of-date flag at archlinux.org/packages. The package maintainer is automatically mailed when the flag is set. Please use it.
That's a great tool. But what is if the develomer didn't ............
jre 6u3-2 & jdk 6u3-1 out of date sinze Jan. 2008! latest 6u5
seamonkey 1.1.6-1 out of date sinze Nov 2007! latest 1.1.8
I will not list all packages but there are a lot out of date.
I am using ABS and build my own packages. But I am not smart enough to build all of them. With seamonkey it faild.
Now what to do?

I am not talking about bug reports, I am talking about what can we do to get faster updates. I think everybody know about the latest mozilla security flow
My point is how we can make it faster.

"Please be patient, and remember that Arch devs also have "real life things to do other than update their packages."
Patient Yes, but where is the limit?
Seamonkey is out of date from November 2007. This is a to long time, I think. If there will be a development "work-group" called "example broswer" then it can be much faster if differant users have access to the development packages in the work group. The packes will be owned by the "work group" and not by the "maintainer" anymore.
The stress factor went down, because you don't feel so much presure and also have more time for the "real life"!

there is a knowgle, time, from a lot of Users in AUR. I think you can find there many Users how have the short time and the knowgle to help out. User how don't like to stay in the full time development

  • Out-of-date flagging not visible in package list?

    In the old website design packages flagged as out-of-date were marked by a different color in the package list. This is not so anymore. How come? It was very useful.

  • Flash Player is out of date in Google Chrome

    I have a Macbook with Mac OS X 10.5.8 version (Intel Core 2 Duo).
    I run the internet on Google Chrome, but some time ago it started showing this message on every window.
    "Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date."
    It shows grey windows with no flash content. And when I hit the button "Run this time", it starts playing the flash content. But it is an annoyance when I have to hit this button on every new window.
    I wonder how to solve this problem. Google advises me to solve this problem by displaying this message>
    Note: Although not recommended, if you don't want Google Chrome to notify you when a plug-in is out of date, use the command line flag --allow-outdated-plugins. Instructions on how to add a command line flag can be found on our Chromium site .
    But I tried to follow the command and it was too difficult for me to understand.
    I updated the Flash Player many times and I am sure it is up to date, but somehow this message still shows up. I also tried to uninstall my Google Chrome but don't know how.
    I like Google Chrome better than Safari because it responds faster than Safari and has less freezing problems.

    Hi,
    I downloaded the Google Chrome from the link that you provided.But somehow it doesn't work on my Mac. According to my computer specifications it is supposed to be compatible. It installs with the strange icon in front. And when I try to open the application it displays a message "You cannot use this Google Chrome on this Version of Mac OS". Please see the images that were displayed on my computer. I am confused.

    hi,
    Before archiving you have to put the Deletion flag for the object(May be for PO, MMR etc as per your req.)...
    After that the you use the archiving procedure to archive the docs which are already flagged for deletion...
    For MMR you use the transaction SARA...and its respective object for the archiving....
    You can use the SDN search to see the many threads on it...
    Or use this link as per your req. and make the search...

  • [SOLVED] open-vm-tools-modules out of date

    open-vm-tools-modules has been flagged out-of-date today because it requires < 3.3 kernel.
    This is stopping me from updating to 3.3-ARCH.
    Can anyone advise what it would take to update this? If it's complicated, how long would it normally be before it is updated by the maintainer?
    Thanks in advance.

    The NEWS file in ~/abs/open-vm-tools-modules/.../src/ said
    Targets (1): open-vm-tools-modules-2012.03.13-1
    open-vm-tools 2012.03.13 changes:
            * Updates for newer Linux kernel releases (3.3).
    so I thought it was worth risking removing the requires <3.3 from PKGBUILD, like so (I didn't mean to comment the second "depends=" line):
    package() {
    _kernver=`pacman -Q linux | cut -d . -f 2 | cut -f 1 -d -`
    # depends=("linux>=3.${_kernver}" "linux<3.`expr ${_kernver} + 1`")
    # depends=("linux>=3.${_kernver}")
    KERNEL_VERSION=`cat /lib/modules/extramodules-3.${_kernver}-ARCH/version`
    msg "Kernel = $KERNEL_VERSION"
    Seems to be working, so marking SOLVED.

  • Banshee package sorely out-of-date

    I'm not sure where to go with this, but the Banshee package in the Extra repository has become sorely out-of-date.  The current repo package is 0.10.10, while the current version available is 0.11.0 (and the latest from the 0.10 series was 0.10.12).
    The package has already been flagged as out-of-date, but it's been quite some time and I don't think it's gotten any attention.

  • WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue

    Can someone please help me. I have contacted Mac support 3 times and no one can help me and was recommended I go onto this forum.
    I keep getting a pop up on my Mac, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5 and another MacBook we have in the house. It says "WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue."
    I have done a bit of research and a few websites have said it is a Trojan. I have updated flash, reset safari and a heap of other things.
    I am not tech savvy and just want this fixed. Someone help.
    Thanks.

    Hello Katie,
    Apple frequently flags older versions of Flash Player as out-of-date in Safari, prompting users to upgrade to the latest, most secure version of Flash Player.  The current version of Flash Player is 14.0.0.145.  If you have a version prior to this, you'll need to upgrade in order to view Flash content.  You can also visit this page, http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/, to verify the latest version of Flash Player for your OS platform.
    Please note that Flash Player is not supported on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad). I suspect you'll continue to get similar messaging when visiting web sites on these devices that contain Flash content.

    It builds fine without all those patches.  Having static patches to VCS code is a bad idea from the outset.

  • SFR drops traffic when policy is out-of-date?

    Hi,
    We are evaluating a 5515X with FireSIGHT.
    I am routing a few guest networks through the lab ASA but are experiencing some strangeness :)
    Three times it has suddenly started dropping traffic, and I really can't pinpoint the reason..
    The things that I have noticed when I get the warning from our support staff, is that there are policies out-of-date on the ASA. (See att. img policy_out-of-date.png). And the when I apply the policies the traffic starts again..
    And when I look at the logs from the ASA the thing thats sticks out is the sudden spike of SYN Timeouts (See att. img syn_timouts.png).
    I have "Inspect traffic during policy apply = Yes", and I have read that this could stop the traffic "when applying" the policy. But should that really block traffic when the policy is out-of-date?
    Do you guys have any idea whats happening here, or noticed anything like this before?
    Is there a log that shows why the policy gets out-of-date?
    Regards Falk

    As far as getting the package in the repo updated as mentioned above it all depends on the maintainer for that particular package. What you can do to help is go to the homepage, search for the package and flag it as out of date. FYI this has already been done for mythtv.
    To upgrade on your own the best way to do it is start from the same PKGBUILD that is used to build the official package through abs. You can find all the info you need on the wiki page.
    Typically the PKGBUILDs in the AUR have some different functionality from the main version in the repo, and aren't usually what you are looking for if all you want is a version bump.
    It is usually best to remove your installed version before using a version from AUR. Most AUR PKGBUILDs will have conflicts (and provides) for other versions of the same package and thus pacman will give an error when trying to install it. If you are just bumping the version of the same package you will not need to remove it first.
    EDIT: You can use pacman -Rd to remove (and replace) a package if others depend on it.

  • Packages out of date?

    Seems I always have silly questions ( I hope they don't annoy to many people ).
    When a package is updated because a newer stable version is released, and other packages have the updated package as a dependency, should the other packages be flagged as out of date because they are not built against the new packages.  (can i say packages any more times?)
    Example:
    libarchive 2.6.2-1 was just updated.
    I see that gvfs 1.0.3-2 depends on this package.
    Does this mean that gvfs 1.0.3-2 is now out of date and be flagged as such?
    Thanks for your time

    If you care to dive a bit into it, subscribe to the arch-dev mailing list.  The system they use for upgrades and publishing packages is all very public.

  • [SOLVED] Out of Date Packages

    Recently a package that I use a lot had a new stable release (Octave, just released 3.2.4) so I flagged 3.2.3-3 as out of date. It never got updated. This morning I checked back and it's not flagged as out of date anymore.
    What's going on? Should this happen?

  • [SOLVED] Adopting an out-of-date package

    Two questions:
    1) It's been a year since any updates were done on the package I needed to install today, and I mistakenly assumed that because it had been flagged out-of-date I'd be able to adopt it after I cleaned things up and rebuilt it.  I just sent the current owner a message asking him to disown the package so I could adopt it, but I was curious what the SOP for taking over out-of-date packages that haven't been disowned (they might not respond, and it'd be relevant to know what further steps I need to take regardless).
    2) I remember reading somewhere that it took 10 or 20 votes to get a package from the AUR to community, but the package I was working with had well over that.  What exactly is the current procedure that allows a package to graduate from the AUR to community?
    Cheers,

    That's what I thought :-) I too wanted to ask you which package exactly you had in mind, but as the rules apply to all of them, I think it's not strictly necessary.
    Talking about some loosely-defined hypothetical situation makes me uneasy because there may be some gotchas or special cases involved, so it's best to be as specific as possible (but you probably know that).

  • JDev Internal CVS problem: no indication that local source is out of date

    Hi,
    I have a situation where two people are coding an ADF BC / Faces project and both developers are editing the model, modifying the same AM etc.
    When one developer commits their changes to the CVS, the other developer has no indication that their copy is now out of date with the CVS. The incoming changes is set to run every 5 minutes and definately runs, but there is no way of knowing that a local copy is out of date. Is JDev meant to do this or is something not configured properly?
    Aside from updating each object every single time prior to make a change to it, is there any way that JDev can change the CVS Icon on each object if it is different than the CVS?
    What does the "Finding Incoming changes" do if it is not meant to flag files as out of date?
    regards,
    Brenden

    So far this is not working well at all. We are spending a lot of time fixing problems caused by one or more files for each object being out of date. We are having to do a force unchanged commit to get rid of the 'mixed states' status on some objects.
    The delete from CVS also completely hangs JDev on both developers PC's as wll as stuffs the AM definition.
    can anyone recommend an alternative that they have had success with?

  • How to zero out my data for chart

    I am aquiring 12 channels of 0-10 volt signals through a cDAQ-9174 chassis and 9205 module on Labview 11. I am using producer/consumer loops to the write the data to a file also sent to two charts. I want to keep the data sent to the file as is, and then tare (zero out) the data going to the charts.
    I have attached the code. Please ignore the diagram dissable structure and it's contents.

    Are you supposed to get the this offset each time you press Start, or only the first time? For example, if I press "Start Test A", run it for 5 minutes, and then press it again to stop it, and then 10 minutes later I press it again to start it, do you need to update the offsets, or would you use the ones from 15 minutes earlier? Since the producer consumer loops are running all the time, I would suggest using a shift register/feedback node to keep track of whether you've acquired the offset values. Reset the flag when you turn off the test if you want to get the offsets "fresh" on the next start. As for where to save this, a simple local variable will work (yes, I said local variable, all you local variable haters out there!). In this case you will not run into a race condition.
    Note: you do not need to use your own buttons for controlling the visibility of plots. In LabVIEW 2011 that's built-in. Show the plot legend, and then right-click on the legend and select Visible Items -> Plot Visibility Checkbox.
    See attached modification for one possible implementation. Note that I removed the enqueing done in the False case in the producer loop since I did not see much point in enqueuing when you didn't actually get any data.
