Currently, there are two packages for xampp that do the same thing: xampp-linux, which was there two years earlier and just xampp. The xampp PKGBUILD is pretty much the xampp-linux PKGBUILD with added stuff for taking care of x86_64 because the regular xampp-linux package will not work properly with x86_64.

Therefore, this situation is a little complicated. I propose the deletion of the xampp package and notification of the xampp-linux package maintainer in order to make the package x86_64 compatible.

Which is the proper name though? If the xampp PKGBUILD is better, and that's how it should be named, we should keep that one, perhaps orphan it so the original maintainer can take care of it

xampp is the proper name... the addition of -linux to the end of the name is redundant (especially on a linux system). I concur with Daenyth's recommendation, the properly named/more updated package should be orphaned so that the original maintainer can take over, assuming that he or she wishes to.

+1 I'm CC'ing this to both maintainers so that we can get their input on this before we switch anything around.
