At this new website, the author states that the package is a legacy version (the source used in the Arch[1]), and the new one was renamed to "moist" and has a new source [4].
So, i ask if this is a case of outdated package or it can be considered updated, although it's a legacy version?
The MySQLdb1 tree is still maintained and needed by packages like mythtv and pyrss, etc. On the other hand, "moist" is designed to be a drop-in replacement of mysqldb but as its author states, "moist is not yet ready for prime-time, and there are likely to be some large structural changes in the near future", I don't think it a good idea to replace mysqldb with it at the moment.
And i would like to know if some TU has interest to provide the new one, if not, i will gladly create an AUR package.
Feel free to create a package for it, though I don't think it will be in [community] anytime soon, since its last commit was in 2012 (quite dead...), and popular packages should be in the AUR already :) Regards, Felix Yan
