Out-of-date package not been updated in almost a year

The question I have is: what should I do when I see a package that has not been updated in almost a year (after its flag-out-of-date)? I can't seem to find any info on how such a situation is handled. I can't reflag and sending an email to the maintainer seems intrusive and/or rude. There may be an underlying reason to not upgrade, or the flag was lost in time and forgotten.
The package I have in mind is opencl-headers. It got stuck on v1.1, and never updated to v1.2, and now still not to v2.0. There is an AUR package for the 1.2 headers, but that just seems silly to have around.
Thanks for any input!

I see, there is a backstory to all this. It seems though momentum was lost when ocl-icd devs did not respond to the email requesting info. The last commit to their repo was for 2.0 support, back in 2013. It seems abandoned since then, maybe a new spark of activity will come when a new OpenCL spec comes out.
The current situation is quite terrible really: libcl in the repos is from the NVIDIA package, so this means a hard dependency on a vendor not willing to follow the latest version of the spec. Way back when it was probably a sane choice, but now, as the email linnked by Allan shows, the situation is different.
Either choice, be it ocl-icd or Khronos, will improve the situation (OpenCL version and license-wise). Currently ocl-icd has one advantage (detailed in the POCL developer docs): choosing the icd at runtime.
As any CUDA or AMDAPP or Intel OpenCL package will include their libOpenCL, and it can be selected by LD_LIBRARY_PATH if required, I hope a sane libOpenCL package will soon make it into the repo.
As for backward compatibility: I believe the headers are backwards compatible, and it is up to the applications to verify the device they want to use supports the functionality they use. As for forward compatibility: if one solution fails and an alternative is better: just replace the package providing the ICD library by a better one.
Note that both the OpenCL headers and the ICD (libOpenCL) are designed to be platform-agnostic and should in principle work with all versions of the spec and devices, limited only by the device capabilities as reported through OpenCL functions. Currently, libcl and the old opencl-headers version is the limiting factor, which is Terrible®, given the (open source) alternatives.

"Your meeting was found to be out of date and has been automatically updated."

Hello, one of our users is stating that when they make changes to meeting dates and/or times, a few minutes to a day later, the changes revert to the original date and/or time. Additionally, they will occasional also receive an email stating "Your meeting
was found to be out of date and has been automatically updated."
This customer is on a Win7 client and running Outlook 2007. Both the OS and Office/Outlook are completely patched as of 08/12/2014. There are also a couple of iOS devices that access the Exchange account and both are running the latest version of iOS according
to the customer.
The customer states that this behavior began immediately following our migration from Exchange 2007 to 2013 a couple of months back. I am not able to see any reason for this at the server level. We also do not currently have any other users complaining of
the same issue. I am unable to replicate the issue using my account. I suspect that it is isolated to this single user at this point.
We are running Exchange v15, build 847.32.
Has anyone experienced the same? Thanks in advance for any input.

Hi,
I noticed that there are some third-party devices used to sync and manage Exchange calendar. Usually, some issues may be caused by some devices used for Exchange ActiveSync service. We can try to disable the devices and check whether the issue persists.
Here is a KB descripted Current issues with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and third-party devices:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324
If the issue is not caused by any third-party programs, please check the time zone from Outlook client, local machine, third-party devices and Outlook Web App. Please also change a computer then send test meeting updates to check if the issue continues.

[Solved] Out-Of-Date Packages In Official Repos

Hello all,
Not really a question, but a general inquiry regarding the whole out-of-date process.
Suppose I encounter an out-of-date package, which is already marked as such, and has been for quite some time (can't really put a number on it), with nothing going on on testing.
In addition, the package maintainer is around, as can be deduced from the fact that other packages he is maintaining has been updated recently.
Is there anything more that can be done to check the "status" of such out-of-date package?
As an example (really, just an example), the qemu package has been marked out-of-date for about 2 weeks, while other packages maintained by the same maintainer have been updated in the last week or so.
Thanks, Adam.

First of all, it was obviously not a complaint, just an honest question.
Anyway, I got what I need, thank you both.

[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,
~Vry

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).

Check which data records have been updated or created by the business rule.

Dear all,
   Is there any way to check which data records have been updated or created by the business rule?
   For ex:
   When I run a data package which execute some standard store procedure and the log shows :
Executing SPRUNCONVERSION 'LEGALAPP', [ACTUAL], [GGGG],'GLOBAL','SPSCOPE_42412','SPLOG_125272'
SPRunConversion Version 2.06
20071200 - 210 Rows Calulated
20071200 - 84 Rows Updated
Anyway to see the data content of "84 Rows Updated "?
Best Regards,
Jeff

Yes each aplication has 3 fact tables:
FACTWB:Real time storage, when you send data it is stored here and this is linked to the FACTWB partition in OLAP which is a ROLAP partition to enable real time updates of the data.
FAC2: Short term storage. If too many records are in the FACTWB the aplication becomes slow because these records need to be queried by the OLAP engine everytime new records are send to the database. To clean up te real time storage you can do a lite optimize, which will move the FACTWB records to the FAC2 partition. this lite optimize can be done even when users are in the system.
FACT: this is the long term storage. When your reporting is finished you can run a full optimize to clean up both FACTWB and FAC2 tables and store it in the FACT table. This contains all your historical records.
Evertime you run a reort, SAP BPC is looking at all 3 partitions and combines the data of the 3 partitions to present the correct value in your report. Remember that BPC is posting differences in the WB and not the final values. So if you have for example a record with 10 in the FAC2 partition and you send 12 to the database for that intersection, BPC will post only 2. When running a report it combines the 10 and the 2 which makes 12.
Hope this makes it more clear.

Howto submit package (i repaired an out-of-date package)

I read the stuff on AUR on the wiki but it is not at all clear to me how I should submit a package. I repaired an out-of date package and it seems to be working now. I would like to give back to the community by submitting the package.

You can only submit new versions for packages for which you are the maintainer/contributor.
- In case the package is an orphan (no one owns it) then you should adopt the package and become the new maintainer.
If the package is owned by another user, mail them your new pkgbuild.
If they haven't responded after a few weeks, you can use the tur-users maling list to ask AUR Trusted Users to orphan the package so you can become the new maintainer.
- Many people post new pkgbuilds in the comments, but giving the maintainer a chance to update the package is normal behaviour (or should be).
Note : Your forum account doesn't work on AUR, you need a separate account for that (most people use the same username in forum and AUR).

Hey there Luba_kalstad,
It sounds like you are unable to join your network and cannot see it in the Wi-Fi list in Settings. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.

Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
And this section down toward the bottom if needed:
Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks.Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:

Updated to iOS 5 and now photos sent with text message show as sent, but are not received to an iPhone that has not been updated.

Updated to iOS 5 and tried sending a message with a phot to an iPhone that has not been updated. My message shows as sent, but neither the text or photo are received. Text alone works fine.

This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On all but one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On all of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

Data is not getting updated in table using RFC

Hi Experts,
In my scenario, I am calling one RFC using RFC receiver channel. After running scenario, channel is showing status that RFC executed successfully. But when I am checking tables in R/3 system, data is not getting updated.
Moreover , when we tried to execute the RFC manually in R/3 system, that time data uploaded into table successfully.
Could anybody tell me what would the reason that data not uploading into table when we send it through XI.
Regards,
Sari

HI Sari,
as you have scenario with RFC receiver.. and as you mentioned that it not updating tables when run through PI but when you execute RFC manually tables got updates.. then following are the options you can check..
-- if you check RFC communication channel and if everything ok on then.. this means that your RFC is getting triggered successfully..but as you said tables are not updated.. for this you can go to SXMB_MONI and check the log take payload after mapping.. and compare it with the input when you try to execute it manually.. I think the input when you try manually and input to RFC when you try through PI is different and that is causing the Problem.. you will be able to see the difference in input then check.. I think the problem is data and not RFC communication channel..so by using this you will come to know difference
-- else if possible configure your ID in PI in RFC Receiver and then check and put breakpoint on ABAP side.. so that when PI will hit RFC you will get it in debug mode and able to see what is going wrong..
Thanks,
Bhupesh

I am the owner of my iPhone 4 and it had not been updating and allowing me to download apps. So I decided to do factory setting, before doing so I had backed up my phone on my computer then I had erased everything from my iphone. But now I want to start everything from the beginning, and on my setting my Apple ID is present however when I put my password in it doesn't let me log in. The message that I receive says that I would have to remove my Apple ID as it will not let me log in with that I'd even though I am the original owner, I have tried everything on find my iPhone as well, even there my Apple ID not showing on the devise.
If anyone has had a similar experience could you please advise me on what to do,
Thanks

You must have the credentials that were used to turn on Find my iPhone on the device. Without them, you can not get past the activation lock.

The image itself has the answer
The user requests a page, and the action gets picked up by the Web Analytics service that runs on SharePoint.
The Web Analytics service logs this in the “.usage” files.
A Timer job called “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import” by default runs every 30 minutes. It imports the logs into the staging database.
Each night the “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Processing” Timer job runs and transforms the data into the reporting database.
The last run time of the import from staging and the aggregation is logged in the Settings table in the Reporting database.
Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application collects Data about Usage and Health of your farm.
This information is used for Health Monitoring and this is also required for running the Web Analytics Service. If you do not have a Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application or your
Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy is stopped, you will not see any data in the Web Analytics Report
