Other people _are_ trying to use them, which is what drew them to my attention in the first place. You say you were (are?) going to update them, but you were the previous maintainer of at least two of these packages[1][2], and pacman 4.2 came out nine months ago and you still haven't updated them. How much longer is it going to take? Uploading a broken PKGBUILD is bad enough, but then leaving it in a broken state for months on end is even worse.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#3996] Merge Request for opencubicplayer-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

osaukko [1] filed a request to merge opencubicplayer-git [2] into ocp-git [3]: When creating this package I missed ocp package already made by miffe. Changing package name should make things less confusing for the users.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#3989] Merge Request for libgcj
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

The-Compiler [1] filed a request to merge libgcj [2] into libgcj15-bin [3]: pdftk is the only package which did depend on this - unfortunately it breaks when updating libgcj to the newest major (16). To fix this I uploaded libgcj15-bin (because it's not the newest version, and suffixed with -bin because it's a binary from Debian). Since pdftk is the only package depending on this, I think it should be merged into libgcj15-bin.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#3918] Merge Request for libtiff4
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Toost_Inc [1] filed a request to merge libtiff4 [2] into libtiff3 [3]: Both packages essentially provide the same libraries, with one depending on another but using another symlink (`libtiff.so.4` instead of `libtiff.so.3`), which could be easily added to the other package. It's quite a mess, creates weird dependency circles and has conflicting files to to top it off. I've created a patch [*], that will solve this problem, which I've also posted in the comments of the libtiff3 package.
