[aur-general] Removal request (nerolinux3)
Hi, the package nerolinux3 (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30591) is the orphan and out-of-date version of nerolinux ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2153). I think it should be removed.

It's the last of the 3.x branch. Package is nammed nerolinux3 (as its branch) and i don't know why was marked out-of-date. http://unix.oppserver.net/nero/ -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net
So, let me understand... In AUR we should keep older version if they're from a branch different than the last one (like keeping Firefox 7 when version 8 is released - just an example)? Or we're doing this just for commercial software? 2011/12/28 Seblu <seblu@seblu.net>

In aur you can upload a pkgbuild for an old, legacy version. if you have a package called foo, foo is expected to have the lastest version. But you can create a package called foo25 with the 2.5 version. maybe the 2.5 version has some feature missing on the latest. and maybe some people need it. its very common, here a package like that: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42550 even on the binary repos we have python with the latest and python2 with the 2.0 version (I think we even have a python25 for 2.5)
