I'm the current maintainer of ArchHaskell and within the small team we've reached the decision to drop support for the huge set of package owned by the user arch-haskell on AUR.
Currently we maintain 300+ binary packages, and we'd like to keep them on AUR. All others should be orphaned (or removed). Doing that manually would be painful to say the least, are there any tools that assist with mass-orphaning?

It might churn your stomach ;-) but you could use my WWW::AUR perl module set ... use WWW::AUR::Login; my $u = WWW::AUR::Login->new('arch-haskell', 'password'); for my $p ($u->packages) { $u->disown($p); } You'd need the perl-www-aur package installed: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44180 -- -Justin
