Compiz was removed from the repos https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2013-May/024956.html but appeared in the AUR a good while later - 2013-07-11 , even though Allan inquired about it in late May: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2013-May/025022.html Recently ndiswrapper and cdfs have been removed from the repos but I don't see them in the AUR. What is the rationale for this? Are the other ndiswrapper / cdfs packages that are already in the AUR deemed sufficient? Is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fuse-cdfs-git/ the same as 'cdfs' package that used to be in the repos? A word about why the package has been dropped .e.g 'doesn't work with linux 3.10 kernel' would be helpful. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rusxmms/ has a comment that says 'removed from community'. Mentioning https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36229 would be helpful.
