Sad to hear you are leaving. But everybody has a freedom of choice. Would be interesting to know which distro you are going to use after Arch :) Thanks for nice wishes. Wish you the same! Have a lot of fun! Best, Jozsef -- "Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters."

This is to
a) inform the TUs that I've switched distros and won't be able to maintain my packages in the AUR anymore. Feel free to orphan all 358 of them.
b) say "Thank you!" to everybody who notified me of outdated packages, sent suggestions and/or patches or helped otherwise.
c) give reasons for leaving: My mind is on things other than bleeding-edge and system-tinkering. Over time I also became dissatisfied with the official way of handling source packages. IMO Arch could be great at both source and binary, but the source part doesn't get enough love. Why not add source support for pacman? Oh, and why not compress packages with LZMA?
d) wish every Arch user all the best and lots of fun with his/her/its distro of choice!
