[aur-general] Removal requests
by Benjamin A. Shelton 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

Howdy, It's time for my fall house-cleaning, and I would like to request the removal of python2-sentry [1] and python2-httpbin-git [2]. As per the Python package guidelines [3], these should never have been named with the python2- prefix as they are application packages (not libraries). I have had the corrected versions of these uploaded for quite some time, and thanks in part to my forgetfulness, I believe that the significant number of months that have since passed should be ample time for anyone who may have had these installed to migrate to the new versions. Thank you!

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/porta/ The current package does not work and has not been updated for years. I tried to email the maintainer, but the address is no longer valid. I'd like to update it (see comment section.) Best -- Robert Schwarz

[aur-general] Request removal of lutris-bzr
by Mathieu Comandon 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Hi, I'm the author of Lutris ( http://lutris.net ) and I would like to ask for the removal of the lutris-bzr package in AUR ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lutris-bzr/ ). Reasons for removal are: - The trunk version is by definition unstable, users who want to test it should explicity do a bzr checkout. - The dependencies are outdated. - There is a stable version in tar.gz format on the website which can be used instead. - I migrated from bzr to git, I won't commit on Launchpad for this project anymore. - I will probably delete the launchpad code, in order to avoid confusion. Thanks :) Mathieu

I would like to request the deletion of AUR pkg "destroytwitter' since the development of the package has been stopped and Twitter does not support it, as well, rendering the program useless. Thank you! syne

I try to help keep some packages useful for me and for the community, but if bad maintainers are maintaining packages, do not see why this difficulty about getting a package. This discourages me. ------------------------------ have you dropped him an email? there is a 2 week waiting periode. greetings Levente Lara Maia <lara at craft.net.br <https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aur-general>> wrote: >*Please, disown fortune-mod-br [1]*>**>*I comment on this package in 2012-10-21 and the package continues*>*outdated*>*and not works.*>**>*I'll maintain he.*>**>*[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fortune-mod-br/* -- *~ Lara ~*
