[aur-general] Removal request: arc-status
Hi, Just stumbled upon this[1] package, it is very old (last updated in 2009) and useful only when Arch used to have RC init scripts. I'd suggest its removal. Also, I think there are still a number of packages related to old initscripts. Do you mind if every time we find one, we request its removal here, or would this be too cumbersome?

It's fine, and thanks for helping us cleaning AUR :) Regards, Felix Yan
On a related note, I'd just like to ask why initscripts AUR packages aren't accepted. I was under the impression that while initscripts are no longer the official/supported init method for Arch, some people are still using them instead of systemd?

They're okay to me as long as they are maintained. The package in the original request (arc-status) was an orphan and didn't get an update for more than 4 years, and that's why I think its removal is a good idea. Regards, Felix Yan
Ahh okay, thanks for clarifying that for me On 10/05/2014, Felix Yan <felixonmars@gmail.com> wrote:
