Thank you for the comments, appreciate it! About causing panic when orphaning: the package will continue to be available and work even if it's orphaned, but now there is a chance that someone will pick up the thread where the previous maintainer left of and improve and update the PKGBUILD. If someone panics from this, perhaps it's still a good trade? The reason I'm asking is because I suspect that I'm more fond of cleaning up old cruft than the average TU/Dev, and I don't wish to orphan or delete packages in a way that is perceived as rash. In my opinion, being relatively quick to orphan, but hesitant to delete, should result in a better AUR repository for everyone, as long as the criterions for disowning packages is somewhat conservative. I would say a user being inactive for more than a year is quite sufficient. A comment from another TU or Dev would be especially helpful. -- Sincerely, Alexander Rødseth xyproto / TU
