[aur-general] Some package deletion and orphaning requests...
Hi, I have some propositions for AUR packages. Here they are : - human-themes: should be orphaned. This package hasn't been updated since December 2008. Some users posted updated PKGBUILDs in comments but didn't got an answer. - lib32-bzip2: same as human-themes. Hasn't been updated since August 2008. - bin32-kega-fusion: should be removed. I submitted this package (x86_64 only) along with kega-fusion which is a 32-bit binary. However, as I found out how to make kega-fusion PKGBUILD multi-arch, so bin32-kega-fusion is no longer needed. - mamepgui: should be orphaned. The PKGBUILD has been submitted not long ago but has many defects. It is already outdated, is i686 only and doesn't rely on compilation from sources, though possible. I flagged the package and posted a improved PKGBUILD in comments one month ago but the maintainer didn't react. I'd like to adopt this package. Thanks in advance!

human-theme has been deleted, there is a package called gnome-human-theme which is the up-to-date version of the same theme
- lib32-bzip2: same as human-themes. Hasn't been updated since August 2008.
Done
- bin32-kega-fusion: should be removed. I submitted this package (x86_64 only) along with kega-fusion which is a 32-bit binary. However, as I found out how to make kega-fusion PKGBUILD multi-arch, so bin32-kega-fusion is no longer needed.
Done

And done... Enjoy!
Thanks in advance!
You're welcome

I am curious. How can one seriously maintain a package without receiving notifications ? Shouldn't this be enforced ?
