**DELETE**

Duplicate of mono-git:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mono-latest/

Renamed upstream to budgie, submitter/maintainer renamed package without
requesting merging/removal. Nothing useful to merge:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/music-player-git/

Maintainer said in the comments that the package is obsolete and needs to be
removed:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hawaii-fluid-themes-git/

Fix was implemented upstream, nothing worth merging:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/obmenugen-bin-fix/

Merged into kernel source tree as of 3.8:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8723ae-w110er/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8723e-w110er/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dkms-rtl8723e/

Out of date duplicate of sphinx, nothing worth merging:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sphinx-release/

Duplicate of volatility-svn, nothing worth merging:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/volatility-linux-svn/

Patch merged upstream, nothing worth merging:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zbar-v4l/

Duplicates of libpng and lib32-libpng. The submitter claims that they aren't
because it will stay at 1.6, but they're still duplicates :
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libpng16/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-libpng16/

Duplicate of tor in community:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tor-stable/

Duplicate of tor-unstable:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tor-rc/

**MERGE**

Maintainer renamed package but never requested merging:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mono3/ INTO
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mono-beta/

Maintainer renamed package to comply with python naming standards, needs merged:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pytorctl-git/ INTO
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-pytorctl-git/

**OpenSync**

The opensync packages are kind of a mess. To start with, the tool was renamed
and needs merged:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/msynctool-svn/ INTO
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/osynctool-svn/
Then we have an unstable, development release in [community] as libopensync that
complicates things. I'm thinking the best way to handle this is to make the
development releases the normal packages and the older, stable release suffixed
with -stable. With this in mind, libopensync-unstable is a duplicate of the
[community] package and needs to be removed:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libopensync-unstable/
And the other unstable package needs merged along with the regular one, taking
into account the rename.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/msynctool-unstable/ &&
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/msynctool/ INTO
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/osynctool/
I haven't looked at the plugins yet. OpenSync is mostly dead, anyway.

Thanks
