I'm the current maintainer of ArchHaskell and within the small team we've reached the decision to drop support for the huge set of package owned by the user arch-haskell on AUR.

Currently we maintain 300+ binary packages, and we'd like to keep them on AUR.  All others should be orphaned (or removed).  Doing that manually would be painful to say the least, are there any tools that assist with mass-orphaning?

Create a list of packages (plain text, one package per line) and I'll orphan them.

I tried sending the list privately, but maybe it didn't make it to you.  Anyway, I've uploaded a list, it's all packages owned by the user arch-haskell.

Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term.     -- Alan Kay

I thought you wanted to keep some packages. Lukas was asking for a list of packages you wanted to orphan, not a list of all your packages. Am I correct in my understanding that you want to orphan every packages that is not also on the repo at http://www.kiwilight.com/haskell/i686/ ? -- -Justin

I'm kind of confused now. Magnus..? If you give me green light I'll go ahead and orphan *all* packages owned by arch-haskell. Otherwise, please send a fixed list.

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.     -- Alan Kay

It might churn your stomach ;-) but you could use my WWW::AUR perl module set ...

use WWW::AUR::Login; my $u = WWW::AUR::Login->new('arch-haskell', 'password'); for my $p ($u->packages) {    $u->disown($p); }

You'd need the perl-www-aur package installed: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44180

Well, I got tired of waiting for others to do my bidding, so I decided to try to get it done myself instead... and perl doesn't churn my stomach, even though I do my best to avoid it for aesthetic reasons ;) I installled that package of yours, and found that I need perl-lwp-protocol-https (available in [extra]) in order to log in. It's a bit slow, but it seems to work nicely.
