Hi,
please remove python-libchamplain
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40969
It was needed by kismon only, but is not anymore. As 0.6.1, the latest version supporting python is outdated and pretty old (0.12 is out), it should be removed I think.
Thanks, Max

It does provide a valid package and it seems it was recently updated upstream. I just marked it out of date and left it alone.
Deletion usually happens when upstream is dead or hasn't released a new version in a while. If the maintainer doesn't update it or refuses to, then that is a different discussion.
Thanks.

It seems that the requester is the maintainer.
IMHO, if the package can't be updated to newer version with python support, should not be flagged as out-of-date.

You're absolutly right. I am the maintainer (sorry, forgot to mention that) and the package indeed is up-to-date, as it's the latest version supporting python. But, as the only package depending on python-libchamplain *was* kismon, and this dependency was dropped, it's useless (and probably will never be used again, as it *does not support python* in any current version).
The package was added in one turn with kismon [1], which, as said, does not depend on it anymore. So I suggest deleting it. The current version of libchamplain can be found in extra [2].
