[arch-dev-public] Dropping all packages with missing systemd units
The rebuild list to add systemd units to packages was created on 2012-08-14 but there is still a number of packages in the repos without them. Given these packages are effectively unmaintained, I propose we remove them from the repos. Allan

Just as a side note, you can run 'aurphan -t' to see if you use any of these packages up for removal. For example, I have webfs installed, which still does not have a service file .... and I adopted it a few days ago. Whoops. -Kyle

Are these {,make,opt}depends of other packages? If not, no objections. Eric

Give it a day or two - if the respective package maintainer do not reply here, then remove them.
Hi, I can adopt and add systemd support for noip and pdns if they are orphaned (and pdns is moved to [community]). - Alexander

Pierre, Jan: unless you object I'll move pdns to community so Alexander can take it over. Alexander: Would you like to take over pdns-recursor too? As to noip, as it is already in community and has been on the TODO for ages, you might as well add yourself as co-maintainer and update it. -t

Felix Yan, who recently applied for TU [1] has expressed his will on maintaining these packages. Would you mind waiting on the results of the vote? Lukas [1] https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2012-October/020660.html

Oh, I didn't make it in time before it was dropped, sorry for the noise.

Do the maintainers for any of these packages have any plans to fix these? If there is not even a response saying it will be looked at in the next couple of days, they will be removed. Allan

I've already fix tinc, I added the systemd service in 1.0.19-2 (wrt https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31456) and I marked tinc as complete in the todo task list.
