There is an AUR package that errors when I update it, and it has been like that for a while so I wondered if I could fix it myself?

The Package is here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/filebrowser-bin

You can see my comment explaining the error under the username "mub".

make an orphanage request

Looks like it's even being actively maintained though.

I'm probably just being impatient. I'll do the local build thing with pacman for now, but my curiosity is pushing me to consider the orphan request option. I'll give it a couple more weeks though.

On the couple of AUR packages I ~~maintain~~ neglect I have been approached via email to add people as co-maintainers. I don't always have the time to keep the packages up to date so I was happy to let someone else help out.

Might be something worth looking into rather than an orphan request.
