Description:
It looks like in November, this package was changed from the old Freedesktop version to Aetf's actively maintained fork. However, the old Freedesktop URL is still displayed as the upstream URL, which seems like it could mislead people into thinking this package is still the old version from 2014. I think that it would probably be more useful to users if the upstream URL was changed to https://github.com/Aetf/kmscon/ to make this clear.
This task depends upon

Sadly, pkg is effectively orphaned after [1] happened (at least until someone else picks it up).
