As already mentioned, many of these packages haven't been updated upstream in a long time, and I doubt many of them will.
For example: Name: polymer Upstream: http://static.int.pl/~mig21/dev/releases/polymer/<http://static.int.pl/%7Emig21/dev/releases/polymer/> Description: "QT3 port of Plastik" Last news update: "14.05.2005"
Really? 2005 and QT3?
Moral of the story: just adopt them. Chances are you will never have to do any work with them (excluding the ones that *actually* do get upstream changes), and it makes the repo look/function in a whole lot cleaner manner
I think it's kind of hard for me to see why I should maintain a package that's already been discarded by its developer. In my opinion such packages should be moved to [unsupported] where the one more two people who might want to use them can simply build them themselves. --Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/
