Hello all,
Over the past few days, about 3,000 packages were removed from the Arch User Repository as part of a larger cleanup effort. These packages all fit the following criteria:
- No maintainer
- Popularity equal to 0.00000
- 3 or fewer total votes
- Most recent update before 2019-01-01
If a package that you actively use has been removed, and you are willing to maintain it, feel free to resubmit the package. The Git repositories of all deleted packages are still accessible[1]. Any future large-scale cleanup efforts will be preceded by an announcement on the mailing lists to avoid blindsiding users and maintainers.
Best,
Campbell Jones
