Hi, I think airoscript-svn [1] can safely be removed, as the svn repository is empty and [2] provides the current version. Thanks, Max [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28156 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33596

[aur-general] JBoss packages
by Cédric Girard 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

There is 5 different packages on AUR: jboss-web [1] : version 2.1.9 jboss [2] : version 5.1.0 jboss4 [3] : version 4.2.3 jboss6 [4] : version 6.0.0 jboss7 [5] : version 7.0.1 While I may understand the need for older versions in some case (is there?), the naming scheme make little sense to me. Why jboss [2] is not the latest version (ie 7) ? jboss-web [1] does not seems right either. What do you think ?

qtiplot-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47810) simply intends to update versions numbers quicker than the repository. I'm not sure what the rules are surrounding this situation. uqm-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51672) has similar intentions. libmowgli-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47375) does the same thing and is currently orphaned. libdrm-newest https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22973 does the same thing and is actively maintained. libksba-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50960) did the same thing but "Libksba 1.2 is now in [Extra]. This package is no longer required." and has subsequently been orphaned. tremulous-updated (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21426) does/did the same thing (the tremelous project hasn't been updated since 2009). libdvdnav-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17355) does/did the same thing (the project hasn't been updated since 2008). telepathy-glib-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50140) also does this. It is currently orphaned. The submitter says in the comments: "This package will be needed until telepathy-glib on extra is updated to 0.15.1." lyx-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48936) looks like it does the same thing but has changed a few couple flags in the process. I'll edit the original duplicates list once these packages have been processed by a TU.

netmaze (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1842) - Very old (1996) unfinished multiplayer game. 2 votes, no maintainer, PKGBUILD not updated since 2005. fxsudoku (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=Merge/4053<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=4053>) - Dead project, dead source link. Mirrors exist but it only has 2 votes, no maintainer and the PKGBUILD hasn't been updated since 2006. Lastly, what is the 'policy' around old games and putting a link to the actual game data? Some people would class it as abandonware but if it is still sold then surely it isn't abandonware and is just piracy. For example hmm2 (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33015) doom2 ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33036) and dune2 ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33037) all have a source link to the rar-ed game data at oldgames.ru.
