[aur-general] Orphan request
Hi. Could you kindly orphan the package nanomsg, its two versions out of date, when I attempted to contact the owner, I received a dns error due to his domain no longer existing For the same reason could nanomsg-git be removed, I can't see a need for most people running a "bleeding edge" version of this lib Links https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nanomsg/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nanomsg-git/ and as always, thanks! -- James

The maintainer's AUR account lists a different email address from the one in the PKGBUILD. Normally I would recommend trying that one before orphaning the package but in this case the package has been flagged out-of-date for nearly 6 months.

The existence of a VCS package does not imply that most people are expected to use it. If the VCS repo is active then the package should remain in the AUR. Let others determine what they need to install to suit their purposes. In general, "I see no value in this" != "This has no value for anyone". Both packages have now been orphaned. Regards, Xyne
Good points. with regards to the email, I didn't know it was possible to access a user accounts password. Learned something new there thanks for orphaning the package :) regards -- James On Sun, Mar 23, 2014 at 4:31 PM, Xyne <xyne@archlinux.ca> wrote:
