[aur-general] [Removal Request] racer-3d
by Stefan Wilkens 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hello, I've maintained this package[1] for a while, but am now running intothe inevitable consequences of upstream development: there is none. The Linux version of this game hasn't been updated in years and nowbreaks on the latest version of the fmodex library. While it will runwith an older version, the game still segfaults for unknown reasons. With no source available, no debug symbols available... It may be timeto let this one go. Upstream only develops a windows version, their community suggests wine. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31357

It states in the README-SDL file: ... You can disable it (GTK) at run-time by passing the --nogui 1 option, or disable it build time by setting GTK to 0 in the SConstruct file.

[aur-general] SLiM up for adoption
by Gaetan Bisson 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

Hi devs, Hi TUs, I am orphaning SLiM (login manager): upstream is dead, patches keep piling up, and I actually stopped using that package a while ago. As far as I know, our current package has only one unfixed bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26579 Anyhow, I will move that package to the AUR in a week or so unless a dev or a TU wishes to adopt it. Cheers. -- Gaetan

[aur-general] [Removal Request] rinse
by Michael Manley 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

Although I'm not the maintainer or original submitter, I'd ask for rinse to be removed. The package hasn't been maintained since 2009, flagged out of date, and the comments are from 2011 asking for updates and the maintainer or submitter has not responded (Comments coming from June). I actually want to maintain it as I have created an updated PKGBUILD and want to submit it but unable due to it already existing. So I ask for it to be removed so I can submit the updated version. Thanks, Michael
