For the last couple of years I have been working on Mapton, a desktop map application with plugin support. Thanks to @jonathon it ended up in the AUR at [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mapton/](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mapton/). Even though I’m the co-maintainer I’m not that savvy in pkgbuilds and thought I might ask here if you Jonathon or anyone else would be interested in keeping it updated. Spending most of my time in Solus makes it hard too. 😄 If necessary that is, I do publish AppImages for it and the Snap is just around the corner. Some links for the interested one.

> [@trixon](#): > > So it might be unnecessary to maintain it in the aur too. Given that a fairly high number of Arch users are fairly aggressively opposed to snap. I don’t think snap is a good alternative to AUR if you want Arch users to use the product. ---

Yes, I understand and respect that there are differences in opinions with regard to snap. 🙂 ---

On a side note, it looks like the AUR package was updated 2 hours ago. ---
