"no longer maintained" is not a good reason to remove it. Lot of software are not maintained and they are still useful. As long as they are not broken. -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net
Hi Sébastien, 2011/9/10 Seblu <seblu@seblu.net>
"no longer maintained" is not a good reason to remove it. Lot of software are not maintained and they are still useful. As long as they are not broken.
It can be hard to judge when an application is broken or not, though, as that can depend on the version of the compiler and which patches are applied. But, I get your point. If a package can be installed and ran on a current version of Arch, it's not broken, and might be worth keeping. -- Cordially, Alexander Rødseth (xyproto on IRC, trontonic on AUR)
Btw, "motor" (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=385) does not work. It segfaults when run. -- Sincerely, Alexander Rødseth (xyproto on IRC, trontonic on AUR)
It seg faults if you don't provide an argument, it works fine if you do. ie: # motor /dev/tty7 Btw, I don't have any interest in this package, I just yanked it out of cower and built it to prove a point:) One man's unmaintained does not mean its worthless to another.

Hi, I got no confirmation for the other packages, could these be deleted? A project with a different name has taken over for aldrin, so I can't imagine that these packages will be needed by anyone: aldrin: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16330 aldrin-hg: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23192 These does not currently compile, and it does not seem like they will for the near future (and I orphaned them in the first place): ccons: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49443 raincat: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33509 This project has switched to git, and is not likely to switch back to svn: krita-svn: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25640 -- Regards, Alexander Rødseth (xyproto on IRC, trontonic on AUR)

Removed both.
These does not currently compile, and it does not seem like they will for the near future (and I orphaned them in the first place): ccons: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49443
The project is alive. I'll keep it as a reference in case someone adopts them.
I'll keep this one too, maybe somebody will fix it.
