Hi everyone, this package [1] is four years old, upstream developement has stopped (around four years ago) and seems to not compile anymore. I request its removal from AUR.

Thanks, Edoardo
Removed, thanks.

Can somebody please explain again, what does it mean "dead upstream"? Since the sources are available, I thought we should keep it. Is the policy "remove the broken package - if someone knows how to fix this, they will upload a fixed package" or "let it be, maybe somebody someday will post a patch"?
