Please merge rmlint [1] into rmlint-git [2]. GitHub dropped named
downloads

a while ago, and thus the package is outdated.
Thanks

It's out of date, but I don't know about outdated. You can still get
release tarballs from Github.
But the release tarballs reflect the current state of master, if I'm not
mistaken.
Nope, they reflect tags. You can get a tarball of master as well, but
that's not what I'm talking about.
As far as I can tell from the repo, the only existing tag is '1.0.6b',
which makes the AUR package more recent. Am I missing something?
Just that the author is really bad at versioning. 1.0.8 in the AUR is from Apr 2011, the 1.0.6b tag is from Nov 2012, and 1.0.0 in the debian dir is from Mar 2013.
