Also found another, gtkd http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22002 The package won't compile, the last commit to the author's git repo is around 2 years ago. I tried using dsss like it said to use to build it and also renamed GNUmakefile to Makefile and ran make. If I used dsss, it would not install anything in the $pkgdir. If I tried running make, then it would give a compile error.
I don't believe a compile error is a good enough reason to delete a package. If the source code is still available you can always patch it. The best reasons for deletion are: - It contains malicious programs. - The package is a duplicate of another. - The package is obsolete. Development has moved to another project. - Source code or data is no longer available. - There is some kind of legal issue that forbits a PKGBUILD. This is probably non existant.
