[aur-general] orphan request: mycraft
There's a package in the AUR called mycraft [1] that currently doesn't follow AUR guidelines, specifically the guideline about not putting stuff in the source package that can be downloaded from an outside source. Among the files in the source package is a png file that can be simply extracted from a jar file that is among the sources. Originally the jar was in the source package. After I notified the maintainer (makz) about 5 weeks ago about the jar and png, and included instructions based on my feedthebeast [2] package on how to extract the png, makz uploaded a new version with only the jar located externally; however, the png is still needlessly in the source package. makz last uploaded the PKGBUILD on Feb 13, and I emailed them a second time a couple days later with no response. As a result, I am requesting orphaning of mycraft [1]. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/my/mycraft/PKGBUILD [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fe/feedthebeast/PKGBUILD

I approve of how the PNG-extraction-from-JAR is propagating beyond my mcpatcher PKGBUILD. +1, and good job! :D -- Namasté, Frederik "Freso" S. Olesen <http://freso.dk/>
