1st-ly I'd like to apologize to the OP, the following comments are NOT directed just at you but more as an open mail to community. There seems to be a recent trend to request deletion of (to use OP phrasing) orphans, out-of-date and not updated for over a year. It seems this makes them PERFECT candidates for adoption and/or abandonment-adoption as opposed to deletion. The few I viewed in the list all seemed to have source available. Deletion criteria include (but not limited to) no sources and duplicates of AUR/community or other repo packages. Just my bitchin' to put in my 2 cents

Agreed. I also feel this way towards [community]. If a project has been ended and the source is still available, then I see no reason to remove it from [community]. It's just one of those things that I never understood.

One additional criteria - if it doesn't build anymore (for ended projects it happens after a while).

Oh, I thought that was a given. ;-)
Ok, forget about my request, I'll try to adopt them when I have free time On 09/12/2010 06:31 PM, Brad Fanella wrote:
