[aur-general] Merge request: Songbird
Hi TUs! Unfortunately Songbird is no longer maintained, it is a dead project. Some time ago it was forked in Nightingale which is still developed. Whereby I propose to merge: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-bin/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-bin64/ IN https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nightingale/ AND https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bin32-songbird-nightly/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-nightly-bin/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-svn/ IN https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nightingale-git/ Diego

Felix Yan As Nightingale is just a forked version, I don't feel the need - people could choose whatever they want on AUR. (And songbird-bin still has 341 votes which could be somewhat an evidence for popularity)

Hmmm... Songbird is folding down and out very soon. Quite probably binaries and source code packages will be removed as the servers and domain go dark. http://blog.songbirdnest.com/you-gotta-know-when-to-fold-em/

I know, I did include the link to the blog in my request, still the TU decided otherwise.

In my humble opinion, vote count cannot portray the *current* popularity of a package. Maybe people voted for it when it was popular/in active development. I am sure people don't go around removing their votes for the packages they voted for long time ago.
