[aur-general] Resigning as a TU

4 Apr 2009

      Hi all,

I have decided it is time for me to resign as a TU.  This has been a 
decision that has been on my mind for a while.  I am wanting to focus my 
efforts on what I see as core parts of Arch (primarily pacman 
development and what I consider "core" packages).  I currently leave any 
requests for package orphaning and deletion and AUR password change 
requests to others and I have been relying on others to check TU 
applicants packaging skills, so I am not doing TU stuff anyway.  I will 
still be around to give my opinion is someone wants it.

I will continue maintaining my packages in [community] (at least for the 
time being) but I no longer use the following packages and so they are 
up for adoption if someone wants them:

axel
barrage
blobwars
bmpanel
colordiff
critter
curlftpfs
dtach
exaile (with cddb-py)
gauplol
gimmix (with libnxml)
gnochm
gnome-cup-manager
gnome-do + gnome-do-plugins (with flickrnet + gnome-keyring-sharp-svn + 
notify-sharp-svn)
gnome-mplayer + gecko-mediaplayer
gnome-sbtitles (with sublib)
gnomebaker
gprename
gtk-recordmydesktop
gtvg
gwget
libev
menumaker
mozplugger
multiget
mupen64plus
ogmrip (with gpac)
pida
pidgin-otr
pyenchant
pympd
python-pyalsaaudio
python-sexy
pytube (with ffmpeg2theora)
qt-recordmydesktop
shake
sloccount
solarwolf
supertuxkart (with plib)
tagtools
teeworlds
terminator
upx
visualboyadvance
wbar
winefish
xfce4-places-plugin
xmltv (with perl-fcgi + perl-html-tree + perl-http-cache-transparent + 
perl-http-response-encoding + perl-lingua-en-numbers + 
perl-lingua-en-numbers-ordinate + perl-lingua-preferred + perl-soap-lite 
+ perl-text-bidi + perl-text-kakasi + kakasi + perl-unicode-utf8simple - 
Note all are rarely updated so this is not much work...)

I think any TU can disown another's packages so just go ahead and adopt 
what you want from that list.  But stick to the list as I am keeping 
some packages that I do still use...
