Time to clean up old cruft again. Please head to https://archlinux.org/devel/reports/unneeded-orphans/ and adopt packages you want to keep in the repos. For reference, a current list of packages is attached (but this may vary if packages are adopted/disowned). If you adopt a package from the list, make sure to check its dependencies and also adopt them in case they are orphan.
This is also a good time to check your out-of-date packages and disown the ones you no longer have interest in/time to maintain, so they can find a maintainer in the official repos or otherwise in AUR. Keeping packages out of date and/or with unfixed issues for months/years is not ideal and can be detrimental to the overall quality of our distro in the long run.
I will start dropping packages to AUR in ~ 10 days.

Thanks :) I also have disowned some packages - that is for rerasond of upstream EOL: `gtuber` and for the reason that I don't use anymore and don't have interest in: `gedit`, `enter-tex`, `libgedit-tepl`, `gedit-plugins`, `libgedit- gtksourceview`, `libgedit-gfls`, `libgedit-amtk` A word on gedit. It is probably still very popular[1]. It's not the in gnome core anymore and since then was moved to some own infrastructure and partly moved back to GNOME/World, with parts/features removed or restructured and some parts renamed (enter-tex, was gnome-latex). So this requires at least a bit more attention. It's not a monster, but because I don't use it I often miss small, sometimes big things. So feel free to take over. The only dependency on this whole set seems to be supercollider, with an optional dependency on gedit itself. -- --- Sincerely, fabiscafe ☕️ - Fabian Bornschein [1] https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/fun/Editors/history
