I am sorry to bump this thread but it seems like my request escaped
everyone's eyes last time. I brought this up in the IRC channel
yesterday and some people suggested me just to bump it. So..
To recap, all eclipse-dltk-* packages from emphire are out-of-date:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=emphire&SeB=m
NOTE 1: DLTK Stable 3.0.1 was released on August 26, 2011:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dltk/downloads/drops/R3.0/S-3.0.1-201108261011/
NOTE 2: emphire doesn't seem to respond to user requests since 30th June:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19400
NOTE 3: I do maintain some eclipse/related packages, and I am interested
to 1) adopt, 2) update and 3) keep maintaining/updating in sync with
upstream releases.
----------
@ emphire: Please disown these eclipse/dltk packages for now. If I adopt
your packages, I promise, I will give these back to you as soon as you
get back to AUR and ask me.
Thanks,
Shanto

All eclipse-dltk-* packages are out of date since August/September.
While I have flagged rest of them just yesterday, eclipse-dltk-python
was flagged since 2nd October, 2011. These out-of-date packages, in
addition to some comments posted, make it apparent that emphire is no
more interested or too busy to maintain these packages any more (no
offence).
As I already maintain eclipse-platform and some related stuff, I am
willing to adopt these packages if orphaned.
In addition, I am thinking if bundling these packages under a single
package (eclipse-dltk or eclipse-dltk-bundle) makes better sense. (see
the all-in-one bundle and integration components in dltk download page)
Knowledgeable/experienced Eclipse users and maintainers, please suggest.
Thanks,
Shanto
