Title: Cannot find PKGBUILD/ maintainer information of package kotatogram-desktop-beta.
Post by: dreieck on 20 October 2023, 16:11:28
Ahoj,

I wanted to find the PKGBUILD of  to email the package galaxy/kotatogram-desktop-beta (https://packages.artixlinux.org/details/kotatogram-desktop-beta)
However, when at it's site https://packages.artixlinux.org/details/kotatogram-desktop-beta I click on "View Package Sources", I am only redirected to the same URL again. I do not get any PKGBUILD or alike.

At gitea.artixlinux.org/packages (https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packages/) I do not find the package at all.

How can I contact it's maintainer?

The reason why I want to email it's maintainer directly is that the package needs an update, see this report (https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,5995.0.html) from a few weeks ago that has not been reacted upon yet.

Regards!

I think most packages in galaxy are now from aur.

Do you mean that automagically the latest files from the AUR are pulled (and kept updated)?

Then this should be made clear; e.g. via a statement per package, and "View Package Sources" should link there, and it should be there some information on how to submit that a Artix rebuild may be needed or so.

Regards!

I think they are pulled when maintainers have time. Some packages are outdated.
