Hi AUR Community,
I’m giving up all the packages I maintain for adoption. Unfortunately, I don’t have any time to maintain them in the foreseeable future. You’ll noticed that quite a few of them have Dockerfiles. This is because I was doing my development work on a Mac. The image in those Dockerfiles is a custom image that I created which publishes a new version daily (https://github.com/brianrobt/archlinux-aurdev-docker-image) That process is completely automated, but if it should ever break, then I probably won’t have time to fix it. Anyway, most of you probably wouldn’t even use it to begin with since you’re developing on Arch, but I thought it’d be useful to know.
I also have a GitHub repo where I’ve been keeping copies of the files on each AUR package (https://github.com/brianrobt/aur-pkgbuilds) I setup a bit of automation to perform package updates, but it’s doesn’t work with some of the packages and isn’t really “production-ready”. It may be useful for any new maintainers.
Here are the packages that I’m orphaning:
- alist
- simplex-chat-bin
- stable-diffusion.cpp-vulkan-git
- nmctl
- netclient
- htmlhint
- pixieditor-bin
- python-nspektr
- openmohaa-git
- openmohaa
- rocm-clang-ocl
- rot8-git
- outwiker
- arduino-avr-core
- rapidyaml
- python-rapidyaml
- gradle-language-server
- python-mouseinfo
I greatly appreciated and enjoyed working with the other AUR maintainers. It was a great experience, and I hope that I can return to the community sooner rather than later. Thank you for all of the help and support!
