[aur-general] libtiff4 and libtiff-so4
I just pushed a package named libtiff-so4 [1] that builds from source an older version of libtiff (3.9.7) and links to libtiff.so.4, since some program/packages depends on it (like Scilab's SIVP), as can be seem here [3].
A better name to this package would be libtiff4. But there is already a package named libtiff4 [2] that download the package from Ubuntu. I think this package should be renamed to libtiff4-ubuntu and so my package can be named libtiff4.

libtiff4 is unmaintained - just take it over and maintain a native PKGBUILD

Agree with Rob. But please make sure libtiff4 is in harmony with lib32-libtiff4, as this last one should be only a 32 bit version of the first one. In other words, if libtiff4 is changed, please change lib32-libtiff4 as well.
Cheers, Rafael Ferreira
Ok, did it. Can you please delete libtiff-so4?
