The git repos of deleted AUR packages are not purged

and this is wanted, to get back old PKGBUILDs, but it also comes with pitfalls: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Arch_User_Repository#How_do_I_find... Perhaps somebody is able to provide a faster solution, than the "curl" approach, without building on AUR helpers. Yesterday when somebody posted https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2016-March/032167.html I noticed that the Wiki still mentioned "File Request", even while we had a long thread about misunderstanding "File Request" and it was changed to "Submit Request". On the Arch general mailing list somebody else opened this tread: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2016-March/040986.html We perhaps should at least maintain/update Wikis about fundamental Arch Linux topics. 2 Cents, Ralf
