Hello,

I'll wait two weeks before adding them to AUR, running both `db-remove` and
`svn rm` on the unmaintained packages.
PS. If unmaintained orphans in [core] could be moved to [extra], and
unmaintained orphans in [extra] could be moved to [community], that could
be a nice "trickle down" effect and would be an appreciated cleanup as
well, but that is just my opinion.

cleaning:

Hi,
Scimmia pointed me to [1] in answer of a request by me on forum. I
re-read the page and realised the exception to the first rule leaves
some things open.
text quoted from wiki for reference :
* The submitted PKGBUILDs must not build applications *already in any*
of the *official* binary *repositories* under any circumstances.
Check the official package database
<https://www.archlinux.org/packages/> for the package. If any
version of it exists, *do not* submit the package. If the official
package is out-of-date, flag it as such. If the official package is
broken or is lacking a feature, then please file a bug report
<https://bugs.archlinux.org/>.
*Exception* to this strict rule may only be packages having *extra
features* enabled and/or *patches* in comparison to the official
ones. In such an occasion the |pkgname| should be different to
express that difference. For example, a package for GNU screen
containing the sidebar patch could be named |screen-sidebar|.
Additionally the |provides=('screen')| array should be used in order
to avoid conflicts with the official package.
The package types listed below are in AUR and appear to be allowed but
are not mentioned in the exception .
- packages that *remove *features.
example : mesa-noglvnd[2] disables glvnd support but is otherwise the
same as extra/mesa of the same upstream version .
Maybe change the wording to clarify this ?
- VCS packages building trunk master or specific branches
example : gcc-git [3]
The PKGBUILD is very similar to repo version, but it does build trunk
master.
Are they considered to have 'patches' or should they be mentioned
specifically ?
- VCS packages building a specific commit or revision
(Sorry, can't find an example atm.)
Usually these are considered 'stable' versions. Are they seen as
packages having patches or should they have their own rule ?
Suppose we have 2 packages of this type :
A builds a commit that matches exactly with latest released version, B
builds some commit without a tag or label..
In my opinion A violates rule#1, but I'm unsure about B.
How do we make the difference clear ?
- Older versions of repo packages
There are plenty of older versions of repo packages in AUR . Just search
for gcc or llvm.
I don't see anything in the exception that applies to these packages.

Hello, dear TUs and Arch developers.
I'd like to ask relative the package clickhouse-static[1]. The
officially supported way to build ClickHouse binaries is static
linking[2]. And my question: is it possible that the package with the
current building structure (getting contribs like submodules in
upstream, static linking etc.) would theoretically come to [community]
repository?
Best regards,
Mikhail f. Shiryaev

Hi all,
I received the below traceback when pushing to the AUR.
The push appears to have been successful, but it seems to me this may
indicate an issue with aurweb, so I'm providing it here as a bug report.
If it is not a bug and actually my fault, please enlighten me :)

Hello,
I used to have account "gala" with email gala(a)openaliasbox.org.
I lost password. And Openmailbox service is dead.
I think it is wise to delete that account.
Best Regards
