[aur-general] Delete proposal: amsn-*
aMSN has been replaced by amsn2 (currently available in amsn2-git). I suggest deleting all the amsn-* packages in [1] as most of them are orphaned, incompatible with amsn2 and most don't even build.

The amsn2-git package is, itself, orphaned, and the last development on the amsn2-git repo appears to be almost 3 years ago. Does it still build? Both the amsn2-git and amsn-svn PKGBUILDs are using horribly outdated CVS templates. Personally, as the situation currently stands, I'd nuke the lot of them. If someone has some interest in maintaining the amsn2-git package, then they should adopt, update, and prod upstream to see if this project has any life in it (maybe they moved to a different hoster?). Cheers, WorMzy

The whole project will be redundant soon anyway since Microsoft are planning to shutdown the servers soon [1] and I don't see anything on their website [2] suggesting the package supports any other protocols? No release for nearly 2 years as well. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Messenger_service#Closure [2] http://www.amsn-project.net/

I've deleted all amsn-* and amsn2-git packages since it's only a matter of days before msn servers are shut down (if anyone feels the urge to use msn one last time before it's killed, pidgin is their friend anyway :P) Cheers, -- Maxime
