[aur-general] Stopping Arch contribuiting
It's with a lot of sadness that I say "bye!" to archlinux.
My life is changing ( I will go to live in another city with some friends ), with only an Apple Powerbook (powerPC machine). The arch machine will remain at my sister ( I hope she learn about arch and its pkgs.. and will apply for TUship here :] ).
Sorry, in this moment I can't find the right word. I hope you will comprehend me.
Thank you all

Thanks for your contributions, sad to see you leaving. Remember you are welcome to come back when you get a new computer!
Any TUs willing to adopt some of his packages?

This is very sad, but changes always happens, and sometimes are great, so.. I wish you the best luck in the world, and you will be welcome here in the TU crew ;).
In bocca al lupo!, grazie per il tuo lavoro
Now I have a question, what about your packages? you will have time to orphan all of them and wait while other TUs adopt it? or you are leaving right now?, please let us know.
A.
Well, now that Ronald and I mention it, let help DaNiMoTh with this.
This is the list of packages that actually DaNiMoTh maintain:
boinc 5.10.45-6 ccsm 0.7.6-1 compiz-bcop 0.7.6-1 compiz-core 0.7.6-1 compiz-decorator-gtk 0.7.6-1 compiz-decorator-kde 0.7.6-2 compiz-fusion-plugins-extra 0.7.6-1 compiz-fusion-plugins-main 0.7.6-1 compiz-manager 0.6.0-2 compizconfig-backend-gconf 0.7.6-1 compizconfig-backend-kconfig 0.7.6-2 compizconfig-python 0.7.6-1 dumb 0.9.3-1 dvd-slideshow 0.8.0-4 emerald 0.7.6-1 emerald-themes 0.6.0-2 fusion-icon 20080313-1 gambas 1.0.19-1 glitz 0.5.6-1 gobby 0.4.5-1 gpsim 0.22.0-1 gputils 0.13.5-1 gtk-recordmydesktop 0.3.7-1 gtk2+extra 2.1.1-1 kdvdauthorwizard 1.4.6-4 ktechlab 0.3.6-1 libcompizconfig 0.7.6-1 mandvd 2.5-1 mesa-xgl-git 20070228-1 mozplugger 1.10.2-1 net6 1.3.5-1 obby 0.4.4-1 openoffice-spell-no 2.0.9-1 oregano 0.69.0-1 pygoocanvas 0.9.0-1 qmc2 0.2.b3-1 qt-recordmydesktop 0.3.7-1 rsnapshot 1.3.0-1 sarg 2.2.3.1-1 scilab 4.1.2-4 sdlmame 0.126-1 wqy-bitmapfont 0.9.9-4 wqy-zenhei 0.6.26-1 xgl 0.0.1.20080407-1
I adopted gobby and obby
Let's start the adoption process then.. less work to DaNi ;)
P.S: Orphan packages should move to unsupported, so how long should be the time lapsus to do this? 1 month (imho) or more?, ideas?.

I have adopted these.
The compiz packages really need a maintainer as they are popular and should not move to [unsupported]. I no longer use compiz , but if no-one else adopts these packages then I will adopt them just to keep them in [community]. I would prefer not to...

I say keep orphan packages in [community] until they are outdated or have a bug that needs fixed. No point in removing good binaries.

I can maintain sdlmame on unsupported if nobody is willing to adopt it. I might apply for a TU position but I need to find a sponsor first.. :)
I just grabbed gputils and gpsim as I use to do these MANY years ago for arch.
Thanks for the heads up and Very best regards;

I took all compiz related packages (maybe I missed one or two I've not checked it yet, will do so soon). But if someone else wants to maintain them please take them from me again, I'm happy if someone else will take them (or anyone of the upcoming TUs if they pass the voting process). I'd rather not increase my workload on community too much as I would like to devote more time to the dev part of arch.

Now I adopted:
- net6 (dependency of gobby) - glitz
The life goes on. I wish you good luck with everything you plan to do in the future! Sadness isn't necessary IMO :) You were a part of a great team and that can noone take from you and in the future, you can be again. Let's see how things will be, you can let us know how you are doing in your new place.
Good luck! Dragonlord

Thank you all !!
I hope that compiz's things go to [extra]; community wasn't and isn't the right place. I was the maintainer only for a request of a dev, overloaded by his work ( in the past wasn't the option " you could be a dev " :P ).
For other things, I see that _all_ my packages was orphaned, so do what you want.
