[aur-general] Spring cleaning (moving orphaned packages from [community] to AUR)
Hello, It's time for the semi-yearly package cleanup of [community] packages, as is tradition. I have gathered a list of "unneeded orphans" in [community] (packages that currently has no maintainer, and no other package depends on them) from the excellent list on our web page. TUs and Devs, please adopt, if you're interested: adapta-kde - Adapta theme for KDE Plasma 5 agg - High Quality Rendering Engine for C++ aide - A file integrity checker and intrusion detection program. arch - A modern and remarkable revision control system. arc-kde - Arc theme for KDE Plasma 5 aspell-it - Italian dictionary for aspell aspell-ru - Russian dictionary for aspell autofs - A kernel-based automounter for Linux bar - A script for showing progress bars. bomberclone - Clone of the game Atomic Bomberman cellwriter - A grid-entry natural handwriting input panel. curseofwar - Fast-paced RTS/Action game with ncurses interface dcfldd - DCFL (DoD Computer Forensics Lab) dd replacement with hashing deadbeef - A GTK+ audio player for GNU/Linux. dumb-a4 - IT, XM, S3M and MOD player library (for Allegro 4) easystroke - Use mouse gestures to initiate commands and hotkeys. eclipse-cpp - Highly extensible IDE for C++ eclipse-java - Highly extensible IDE for Java eclipse-javascript - Highly extensible IDE for JavaScript eclipse-jee - Highly extensible IDE for JEE eclipse-php - Highly extensible IDE for PHP eclipse-rust - Highly extensible IDE for Rust esmtp - An easy SMTP forwarder. flac123 - Command-line program for playing FLAC audio files gimp-dbp - David's batch processor for the GIMP gimp-plugin-fblur - Makes out of focus with luminosity and depth gimp-plugin-lqr - Plugin for The GIMP providing Liquid Rescale gimp-plugin-wavelet-denoise - Tool to reduce noise in each channel of an image separately gimp-refocus - A sharpen plugin for gimp using FIR Wiener filtering glide - Dependency management and vendoring for Go projects glitz - OpenGL image compositing library gnunet-gtk - A frontend for GNUnet gtk-theme-switch2 - Gtk2 theme switcher gvmd - greenbone-vulnerability-manager gvm-tools - greenbone-vulnerability-manager tools icecast - Streaming audio over the Internet ifuse - A fuse filesystem to access the contents of an iPhone or iPod Touch iverilog - Icarus Verilog compiler and simulation tool javasqlite - Java wrapper including a basic JDBC driver for the SQLite 2/3 database engine matrix-appservice-irc - Node.js IRC bridge for Matrix minbif - An IRC gateway to IM networks that uses libpurple. mod_wsgi - Python WSGI adapter module for Apache monica - Monitor calibration tool mythes-pl - Polish thesaurus ntop - A network traffic probe that shows the network usage. ode - High performance library for simulating rigid body dynamics openvas - Vulnerability scanning Daemon pdfmod - Simple application for modifying PDF written in C Sharp pidgin-otr - Off-the-Record Messaging plugin for Pidgin. pinta - Drawing/editing program modeled after Paint.NET. It's goal is to provide a simplified alternative to GIMP for casual users privoxy - A web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities. processing - Programming environment for creating images, animations and interactions projectm-pulseaudio - Music visualizer which uses 3D accelerated iterative image based rendering (pulseaudio) projectm-sdl - Music visualizer which uses 3D accelerated iterative image based rendering (sdl) python2-pyxmpp - Python XMPP and Jabber implementation based on libxml2 python-pyinsane - Python library to access and use image scanners qtspim - New user interface for spim, a MIPS simulator. rdiff-backup - A utility for local/remote mirroring and incremental backups. remacs - Emacs with parts of it written in Rust steghide - Embeds a message in a file by replacing some of the least significant bits surf - A simple web browser based on WebKit/GTK+. tabbed - Simple generic tabbed fronted to xembed aware applications. transset-df - A patched version of X.Org's transset with added functionality. tuxpaint-config - Tux Paint configuration tool uncrustify - A source code beautifier vim-jellybeans - Colorful, dark color scheme, inspired by ir_black and twilight vim-ultisnips - TextMate-style snippets for Vim. wren - Small, fast, class-based concurrent scripting language xautomation - Controls X from the command line and does "visual scraping". xbindkeys - Launch shell commands with your keyboard or your mouse under X zapcc - C++ compiler based on Clang, but significantly faster zeal - An offline API documentation browser I'll wait two weeks before adding them to AUR, running both `db-remove` and `svn rm` on the unmaintained packages. PS. If unmaintained orphans in [core] could be moved to [extra], and unmaintained orphans in [extra] could be moved to [community], that could be a nice "trickle down" effect and would be an appreciated cleanup as well, but that is just my opinion. To quote our newly elected leader, in connection with the previous spring cleaning:
Cleanup is always good

This should be on arch-dev-public since there's no requirement for Devs to be subscribed to the AUR mailing list and it's about official repository affairs, not AUR affairs... -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

I'd hope that privoxy doesn't get dropped - it's necessary for using Tor in most cases https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Privoxy

It got adopted the day the message went out, I believe. Note the new maintainer on [its page][1]. For future reference, you can always search for packages using Arch's [package search][2]. [1]: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/privoxy/ [2]: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/
