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!
