You seriously marked the package out of date because of this? Do you know what out of date means?

Edit: Wait, the package really is out of date? Then why did you point to this report instead of to the upstream release?

The upstream is too well documented to mention. It's an update because there are updates. It's a bug because there are bugs. Tagging along are many improvements that can be phased in over time.

There isn't a good way to combine all these.

CXFLAGS='-O' is insufficient. As found in another Neil Brown project AUR wiggle, to make mdadm compile with standard Arch Linux flags use CXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}". The executable size will grow a lot.

What is the story with these changes? The upstream url is dead, the original developer handed development off to a new maintainer and disabled issues on the github repository, and it is not immediately apparent to me what the now-disappeared upstream issue was about, how much of it is still relevant to our package, or what we should be doing about this...
