john-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38152) was created to either update [community] or include a patch which is now included in [community] anyway. It's just been orphaned. Gadget3000 On 29 August 2011 20:46, gadget3000 <gadget3000@msn.com> wrote:

*Packages created to update others:* haskell-xmpp-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32418) was created to update haskell-xmpp ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30218) more quickly. The maintainer is happy for it to be deleted, as stated in the comments. hdate-applet-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42660) was created to update hdate-applet ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=4353) more quickly (I presume). It currently has no votes or maintainer. hspell-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44608) presumably had similar intentions for hspell [extra]. It currently has no votes or maintainer. pyblosxom-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35982) presumably had similar intentions for pyblosxom ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17253) and is maintained by an inactive maintainer so it has old dependencies that haven't worked since at least Oct 2010. stardict-ncce-ce-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40850) I think was created to fix the source links of stardict-ncce-ce ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19437) after the project was removed from sourceforge. It currently has no maintainer or votes and stardict-ncce-ce is also orphaned. stardict-ncce-ec-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40851) did the same thing for stardict-ncce-ec ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19438). It also is orphaned and has no votes and stardict-ncce-ec is also orphaned.

*Packages created for other reasons:* idjc-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35076) is poorly named and should be called idjc-git lazarus-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26708) is poorly named and should be called lazarus-svn, which already exists ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18729) but is orphaned. reciteword-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41925) was created to fix the PKGBUILD of pyblosxom ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17253), which is currently orphaned. spideroak-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47096) is poorly named and should be called spideroak-beta. It is actively maintained. xf86-video-intel-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22968) is poorly named and should probably be called xf86-video-intel-alpha. I'm not sure what is the norm around alpha packages so please let me know what happens with this one. yaffs2utils-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46674) is poorly named and should be called yaffs2utils-snapshot but it's maintained by someone with an @archlinux email address so I think I'm mistaken on this one. Let me know what you think.

*Awaiting maintainer responses:* ipset-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49724) john-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38152) josm-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13569) metslib-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43739)

And that's the current, whole list processed!

dar-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/**packages.php?ID=51785<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51785>) wanted to update dar [community] more quickly. It has been abandonded and only has 1 vote. deja-dup-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/**packages.php?ID=35144<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35144>) has similar intentions for deja-dup (https://aur.archlinux.org/** packages.php?ID=28835 <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28835>). I have just flagged deja-dup as out of date. evilvte-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/**packages.php?ID=51769<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51769>) had similar intentions for evilvte (https://aur.archlinux.org/** packages.php?ID=16727 <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16727>) and has since been abandoned.

It has since been abandoned and may have even been deleted before. fmit-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/**packages.php?ID=51160<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51160>) had similar intentions but the maintainer want's it deleted. gabedit-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/**packages.php?ID=47301<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47301>) had similar intentions for gabedit (https://aur.archlinux.org/** packages.php?ID=34230 <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34230>) but is now itself out of date. It has no votes. gtkglarea-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/**packages.php?ID=31353<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31353>) had similar intentions for gtkglarea ( https://aur.archlinux.org/**packages.php?ID=901<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=901>). It has since been abandoned.

Most were deleted. Some were not yet, because I wrote a comment and want to give a chance to read them to the the maintainer.

Thank you for your efforts.
