[aur-general] Desktube
by Nathan O 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

I am wondering should Desktube be deleted http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24581 ? Currently the home page states that they are working on a newer version and the location for the download redirects to the homepage. I have searched for an alternative download location, but currently I only see the old version of Desktube. I found one that is for version 1.0, but it redirects to the homepage of Desktube. My opinion is that maybe it should be deleted and somebody will probably re-add Desktube into AUR whenever the new version is released(if ever).

[aur-general] Please delete rpm2cpio
by Kaiting Chen 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

I believe rpmextract contains rpm2cpio and as rpmextract is in extra I don't see any reason to keep rpm2cpio around in unsupported. Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/

Re: [aur-general] A slew of deprecated packages (none of which are mine)

Well, Songbird is still being developed on the SVN and nightly builds are being released (the 64-bit support was dropped, though). But has any TUs red this list of mine? The conversation seems to be drawing away to Songbird and its alternatives J. Det

The project seems to be dead, their page is just a parked ad page. http://www.kbfx.org

[aur-general] Please delete masterm package
by Marq Schneider 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Apparently masterm fell off the face of the Earth - sourceforge page no longer exists and Google searches produce nothing. Would someone be so kind as to remove masterm [0] for me? [0] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28348 Thanks, Marq

[aur-general] Deletion request: kwebkitpart
by Nicky726 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Hello, kwebkitpart is now in [extra] and make options look the same, so I guess it can be deleted from the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39197 Nicky -- Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone (Joni Mitchell)

[aur-general] Please delete openser
by Kaiting Chen 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

According to the web page openser is now opensips, which is in community. There should be no reason to keep it in unsupported. Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/
