[aur-general] Cleaning up wine packages
There are many wine packages in AUR and many of them are fairly old and/or obsolete, too. I'd like to clean that up. Here are the candidates: dwarffortress-wine (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36202) Reason: Old version, no maintainer, no need (dwarffortress is in community/multilib) kwine (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6498) Reason: Extremely old (2007), obsolete, dead upstream wine-chs (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17914) Reason: Very old wine version, unmaintained wine-dib (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31499) Reason: Old wine version and apparently the maintainer is uninterested wine-starcraft (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41819) Reason: Very old wine, unnecessary patch and apparently the maintainer is uninterested wine-suse (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37839) Reason: Unmaintained, bin32-wine-suse exists and is maintained wine-doors-svn (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11849) Reason: Unmaintained, dead upstream, dead source wine-doors (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11823) Reason: Very old, dead upstream, dead source wine-forgames (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45631) Reason: Old, doesn't explain its purpose, seems to be a clone of wine-lol (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39529) winetools (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8913) Reason: Very old, dead upstream, dead source, obsolete (now in winetricks and other helpers) wuninst-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18868) Reason: Very old, dead upstream, obsolete (now in wine) wisotool (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37824) Reason: Old, obsolete (now in winetricks) wisotool-svn (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37825) Reason: Obsolete (now in winetricks) winegame-t (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37830) Reason: Unmaintained, old, dead upstream winefix (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17459) Reason: Very old, unmaintained, apparently dead upstream Thoughts?

I'd like to clean that up. Here are the candidates:
...
kwine (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6498) Reason: Extremely old (2007), obsolete, dead upstream
...
wine-doors (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11823) Reason: Very old, dead upstream, dead source
Don't they still work? Are there alternatives to these two? -- GPG/PGP ID: 8AADBB10

-- GPG/PGP ID: 8AADBB10 Neither is makeable. wine-doors misses source and its functionality now mostly exists in winetricks. kwine requires kwine-base which doesn't even exist. Also, KDE integration with wine is already a given anyway.
