[aur-general] Out of date orphaned packages in community
Hi, What is the current policy for out date packages in the community repo. Iirc there were ten or so such packages that fall into this zone. Now while this isnt many, there packages have no hope of being updated, unless a kindly TU takes pity on them. Could they please be moved back to the aur where they can be updated and them moved back into community once that has happened and the PKGBUILD is at it's former high quality. Thanks, Laurie

Give to these packages another pair of days, I guess the new two (and soon, three) TUs will adopt all orphaned packages in community [1] or the out-of-date first[2], then we can move the packages in unsupported.
