There's over 200 packages submitted by arch-haskell that are marked out of date and are not maintained anymore. Some of them have been updated in the past year, so maybe there's no need to remove them, I'm just reporting something I noticed. Some packages were hosting their source on github e.g. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/haskell-warp/ and they now returns 404.

The ones that lack sources should be removed. I have deleted haskell-warp. Feel free to report others. Thanks

See the comments for https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/haskell-binary/ - is it enough to remove it? If ghc provides it and it clashes with the virtual package ..? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/haskell-implicit/ Comment by the submitter: "This package was an accident and should be deleted from the AUR. The replacement is implicitcad. " https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/implicitcad/ is maintained by him.

Both packages are gone, thank you. -- Bartłomiej Piotrowski http://bpiotrowski.pl/

As far as the arch-haskell team is concerned *all* packages uploaded by the user arch-haskell and currently unmaintained can be removed from AUR. Personally I'd even argue they should be removed since I think they're almost all out-of-date, and I'm guessing only a small minority of them still build. If no one has adopted the packages during that year or so since arch-haskell (the team) stopped using AUR then they should be removed until someone who cares surfaces and re-adds them. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

If I got this right, there're 1252 such packages: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&C=0&SeB=s&K=arch-haskell&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Orphans=Orphans The cleanup policy seems to be "old packages stay in the AUR unless the source (upstream) is gone", but I have nothing against making an exception for arch-haskell submissions :-)

In this case I agree. I am deleting all packages that meet the following criteria: * submitted by arch-haskell * orphan * not updated since 2012 OR flagged out-of-date *presses red button*
