1. Question: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bacula/ is basically the same as https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bacula-mysql/ . They both are orphans, but the latter is more up to date. Is it OK to merge bacula with bacula-mysql or let them both be? 2. Deletion: According to the comment, the package is obsolete. The source is gone too. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/biblatex-apa/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claws-tnef-plugin/ According to the comment, the package is obsolete. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/breqn/ According to the comment, it's OK to remove it. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bogo/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clingcon/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/covim-git/ The source is gone. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bin32-openjdk6/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bin32-pando/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bin32-prism/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bluemote-k700i/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/conky-google-reader/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/concordance/ 3. Songbird stuff: http://blog.songbirdnest.com/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bin32-songbird-nightly/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-bin/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-nightly-bin/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-bin64/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-svn/ The last package has a comment that says the Nightingale project maintains a mirror for songbird: http://sourceforge.net/p/ngale/songbird-mirror/ci/master/tree/ Is it OK to remove songbird packages? 4. Merge: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bukkit/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/craftbukkit/ bukkit's description says "You are probably looking for the 'craftbukkit' package." The PKGBUILD doesn't list a proper source ... https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claws-mail-extra-plugins-cvs/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claws-mail-git/ Same maintainer, see comment for claws-mail-extra-plugins-cvs: "Claws-mail moved to git, so please do not use this package but install claws-mail-git:" https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cloud9-git/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cloud9 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cockatrice/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cockatrice-git/ Have a look at the comment on cockatrice about C&D from Hasbro http://www.cockatrice.de/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compcache/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zramswap/ http://code.google.com/p/compcache/: "compcache-0.6.2 is marked deprecated (so nothing available for download now). Please use the version available in the mainline (drivers/staging/zram)." (No idea if it makes sense, see comments) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cross-arm-elf-binutils-sysroot/ , https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cross-arm-elf-base/ and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cross-arm-elf-newlib/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arm-elf-newlib/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cross-arm-elf-gcc/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arm-elf-gcc/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cross-arm-elf-gdb/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arm-elf-gdb/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/curator/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/curator-hg/ See drcouzelis' comment on curator. Hey, TUs, do you prefer shorter, bite-sized mails or longer ones? Separate mails for merging, deleting and other stuff? If a package has e.g. one vote and no important comments, do I still have to suggest merging with a suitable package or is it OK to just delete it? I have no idea which is faster and which is the proper way.
