Hi all,
I apologize, but my package was deleted from AUR without so much as an explanation. Unless I'm very much mistaken, I broke no packaging guidelines. I'll likely not be working to update libevent, after all.
Thanks for you time. Brian Troutwine
Hello people,
Forgot bugging this list as well. What's the issue with having 2.0.10 in unsupported? It's not in *-testing either, so there was no reason for this?

So... someone (Brian Troutwine maybe?) uploaded libevent 2.0.10 to the aur and it was deleted? Did I understand correctly? If that's the case, it was deleted probably because ioni intends to update libevent in [core] to 2.0.10, see http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2011-January/019225.h...

It was deleted (by me) because of the guideline that Ionut referenced. I left a note on the package's page on the AUR before deleting. Anyone who had notifications turned on (which is the default for the uploader) would have received this message via email provided they tied a valid email address to their AUR account.
This is more or less moot with the imminent rebuild.

i don't see that email in aur-general and i wonder how did you got it.
he said he didn't broke any guidelines. I do remember somebody saying that libeven 2.0.10 was uploaded AS libevent.
Copy/pasting from aur guidelines[1]:
Check [core], [extra], and [community] for the package. If it is inside any of those repositories in ANY form, DO NOT submit the package (if the current package is broken or is lacking an included feature then please file a bug report in FlySpray).
This restriction is there because a lot of users are using yaourt/clyde who checks for updates from aur and if the build has the same package name, it would pull it and install, breaking his applications that links to libevent.
He should upload as libevent2 without conflicting with the current libevent1
