It is simple, actually. When a user uploads a package, they should be given rights to remove it if need be. Simply claiming an orphan wouldn't grant the rights. That way only mods and original uploaders would get permission to remove packages and it wouldn't be prone to abuse. It would also contribute less clutter to the mailing list and less hassle for people that make innocuous mistakes like mine. Bureaucracy cripples everything. Sorry for not quoting. My phone isn't fancy enough for it. Sent from my Nokia phone

[aur-general] delete/merge request: icon theme meliae
by Dirk 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

I adopted and updated xfce-theme-meliae [1] before realising it's now a duplicate of meliae-svg-icon-theme [2]. Please delete or merge my version [1]. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38572 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33832 There also seems to be a duplicate of an older version 0.7.2 [3] & [4].

Hi, I can't remember the username I registered with in the aur... This is the email-address associated with it. Could an admin be so kind to drop me a mail with the name? Thanks, Philipp

[aur-general] Deletion request
by rafael ff1 08 Apr '12

"scribus-ng" is release candidate package with an outdated (old) version and hasn't been updated for a year now. Plus this outdated package is the only one of this maintainer, so I guess he doesn't really want to maintain it. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47919 (note: there is another maintained "release candidate" package, scribus-rc, no need for both) "scribus-stable" is outdated, orphan and there's a stable version of scribus in [extra], therefore this package is nonsense. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35538 Thanks

Please remove the following of my packages (python2-numericalpython): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51612 It is of no use any longer. It has been superseded by numpy and no longer developed. The last package depending on it was python2-scientificpython which now depends on numpy.

[aur-general] AUR package removal request
by Padfoot 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

Hi, I am the maintainer of the following AUR packages: lightdm-gtk-greeter-no-gnome: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58232 lightdm-gtk-greeter-osk-no-gnome: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58236 lightdm-osk: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54208 Requesting their removal for the following reasons: lightdm-osk: upstream has moved to v1.2.x which separates the greeter from the daemon. Functionality of lightdm-osk is now provided by the following packages lightdm: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40708 lightdm-gtk-greeter-osk: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58235 lightdm-gtk-greeter-no-gnome: after discussion with the maintainer of lightdm and other users of the package, we agreed on providing a single unthemed version of the greeter package. This package is now a duplicate of lightdm-gtk-greeter: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58230 lightdm-gtk-greeter-osk-no-gnome: same as lightdm-gtk-greeter-no-gnome. This package is a duplicate of lightdm-gtk-greeter-osk: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58235 Cheers. Lachla.
