rober_k [1] filed a deletion request for gtk3-classic [2]:
this is an identical package as gtk3-mushrooms . It pulls from the same repo, only is newer. Proper way would be to mark gtk3-mushrooms out-of-date, not just upload a different package with same content ;)

It's not a simply a more up-to-date package. The source repo is the same but gtk3-classic is essentially a forked gtk3-mushrooms which adds experimental/developmental (?) aspects to the PKGBUILD which the original does not (e.g. use of meson and quilt, see e.g. [1]). Also, technically the gtk3-mushrooms package is not out-of-date as the upstream is still at 3.24.11. If all of this is potentially too confusing let me update the PKGBUILD to use a different source rather than having the package deleted. J [1] https://github.com/krumelmonster/gtk3-mushrooms/pull/26
