Just a query: Why were packages i added to AUR4, ensured were in good working order (and made an enhancement to one of the packages compared to the last release on AUR3), know are used by at least some users, and then orphaned so some other interested party can take over maintenance, were deleted from AUR4?
compiz-gtk-standalone was actually the ONLY package on AUR4 that provided the Compiz 0.8 series core component. Since it's deletion there is now at least one package on AUR4 that has unresolvable dependencies. (eg. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ccsm/ )

I was wondering the same thing... Many of the kde-applications git packages that I uploaded to AUR4 and then disowned ( but were working fine) have been deleted, and I can't find any related request. --
I also disowned an LSI raid card utility a few days ago, and it got deleted within 2 hours. What's going on with this?
- Justin I guess you should either be responsible for a package or not upload one at all. AUR3 was full of really bad orphaned packages. In AUR4 you can add co-maintainers or even publish your repos to some service as github and accept
