[aur-general] [removal requests] suckless packages which are deprecated due to their switch from hg to git
Hi The following packages don't build anymore because they are created for hg, which doesn't exist anymore: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dmenu-hg-config/ and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dmenu-hg-xdg/, please delete, it makes more sense to ask for inclusion of those patches in http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/ (my opinion). But I could also post a comment for those two packages and tell the maintainers to change their packages so they use git. I'd do it, but don't want to maintain such packages. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/9base-hg/, please merge with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/9base-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sic-hg/, please merge with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sic-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/slock-hg/, please merge with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/slock-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sprop-hg/, please merge with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sprop-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/surf-hg/, please merge with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/surf-git/ I hope I didn't miss anything ;)

Will do and come back here asap.

Ok, I should have done that, simply merging without notification would be impolite. Simply wait for my next message, I'll handle it. Thanks!
the outdated packaging already posed as misleading for some users, as the switch to git has been well advertised by upstream. it came up that people believed to be fully up to date when asking upstream, altough svn had long run dry. otoh, I could have said something myself earlier to keep things clean on this side. :) thanks for finally bringing this up. cheers! mar77i On 3/4/13, Uli Armbruster <uli.armbruster@gmail.com> wrote:

urm... wait. did that even make sense? so, there are the typical 10 kind of people. those following upstream and not (or at the brink) using the aur who know it's been git for a while. and then, those who first found the stuff in aur and not looking upstream if their packages were okay and then asked questions about bugs and limitations. I'm writing so many words I hope you're fine with my apology it's not my intention to waste your time. aww, fuck it. </mar77i-moment> cheers! mar77i On 3/5/13, Martti Kühne <mysatyre@gmail.com> wrote:
