Chazza [1] filed a deletion request for fam [2]: Requesting deletion as it would appear this package is never used. Prior to me updating it, it hadn't been touched since 2012 and was broken. I don't of any projects that still use it - certainly, nothing in the AUR depends on it. Also, upstream is well and truly dead - the last release was in 2003. I don't think it makes sense to keep this in the AUR anymore. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Chazza/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/fam/
