Any reason you didn't send removal requests for those packages to aur-general?

... you never sent any mail to the mailing lists

How long have you been maintaining your AUR packages for?

It was just a few months ago I started adopting and updating packages. I wasn't sure how involved I could get with other people's packages (removals, changes etc.) and assumed I needed to be a TU to get more involved. I wasn't sure how likely that would be, but I thought I would at least let you know there was interest and that help was available if needed. I've learned I can already get more involved through this mailing list so I'm sure you will now hear from me from time to time regardless of the outcome of this application.

Just out of interest, where in the UK are you based? (I'm in Birmingham.)

Quite far away; South Buckinghamshire.

Looking at what we have, I have a few suggestions

Thanks for the tips, I will begin tidying these up. Should any change of the PKGBUILD justify a new release (pkgrel)? Or only if it alters the end package?
