I had no notifications of people saying they were broken. I had no time until recently to update them. I'll get to it this weekend. On Fri, 11 Sep 2015 at 12:25 WorMzy Tykashi <wormzy.tykashi@gmail.com> wrote:

I'm upgrading to the latest AUR4 stuff, they will be fixed. No need to delete. I doubt anyone is even using these packages besides me!

Why is a deletion filed before anything else?

Let me answer your question with another question: why upload clearly outdated PKGBUILDs in the first place?
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.
