[aur-general] Leaving Arch Linux
Hey, earlier this year I've stared using macOS and Fedora. With mixed feelings I'm leaving Arch Linux (for now). Currently I'm the co/maintainer of 106 AUR packages: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=simon04&SeB=m Is there a standard procedure for safely un-maintaining all packages? Just abandoning all packages is not the best idea, is it? I'd like to find caring maintainers for my packages. Thank you for great thirteen years, simon04

I will take a look after work today and see if there's any package of yours I can maintain or co-maintain. Thank you for what you've done over the past decade. ~Girls are now preparing, please wait warmly.~ -------- Original Message -------- On Nov 18, 2021, 08:01, Simon Legner via aur-general wrote:

A bit offtopic, but what do you miss in Arch that you get with Fedora? macOS is a no go for me, so I'm not that interested.

I guess announcing here is the right way to do it, specially when you have so many packages. I can adopt spectre-meltdown-checker. I have used it in the past, and seems very easy to maintain.
Thank you for great thirteen years, simon04
Thank you, and hope you come back to Arch at some point ;) Cheers, Iyán -- Iyán Méndez Veiga GPG 0x422E3694311E5AC1

Last year I've setup three new Linux systems and decided to try something new. Since I've been using CentOS on a few servers already, Fedora was a natural choice. In the end I was positively impressed. Out of the GUI installer comes a perfect luks/brtfs/@root/@home setup. Arch Linux has been working pretty well over the years. When I joined, I was super excited as it was the first distribution I really dug into. AUR was fun to try out new software during my university life. In the last few years fewer and fewer things kept me excited about Arch. Plenty of new tools are written in Go/Rust and distributed as precompiled binaries. anyway, making them effortless to try.

I'd say this email would trigger people to contact you for orphaning packages and they can pick them. For example I could pick: spectre-meltdown-checker aur-out-of-date jd-gui-bin jd-gui lab Do you plan to keep developing the `aur-out-of-date`?

I've clarified in the README: https://github.com/simon04/aur-out-of-date/commit/750283b3ec87440440d2f7a82e...
Leaving Arch Linux in November 2021 – I'll keep maintaining the project, but don't expect new features unless you are submitting a patch.
Cheers!

Hi Simon, Personally, I can't say that I'm too interested in most of these packages, but I just wanted to mention: If you have no comaintainers for a package, you could simply wait until another user flags the package out of date and AUR goes through the standard process of orphan requests. This way, at least, if some packages you own that aren't going to be picked up don't need to be updated, they'll still be living and used.
