Hello

I took a look on some orphaned AUR-packages.

And I think some can be deleted (all of them are orphaned and if it was
reasonable I tried to update them):


# pidgin-icq-russia-patch:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23378
Totally outdated and the bug got already fixed.


# pidgin-nateon:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32549
Source page is dead (Though the binaries got included with the
pkgbuild.tar.gz)



# pidgin-nateon-svn:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33062
Totally dead


# pidgin-osd:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15444
Original sources are dead (although there exist other sourcelinks)


# pidgin-qip:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16191
Source links are dead


# pymktorrent:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27373
Source links are dead.


# python-postfix-policyd-spf:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25886
There exists an other version:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42275



And maybe this package
# python-urljr:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12563
Original Sources are dead. The package itself uses now an other link
(which goes to the ubuntu archive)
Maybe a candidate for deletion. At least it should be renamed to
python2-urljr



And now some candidates for renaming (or deletion):

# pyevent:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11158
as suggested from a comment: python2-event


# python-certtool
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19916
---> python2-certtool


# python-colubrid
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9785
---> python2-colubrid (or deletion.. Last update in 2006. I only updated
the package to see if it builds and uploaded the pkgbuild. Didn't test
the package for function)



# python-daap
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54923
---> python2-daap


# python-networkmanager
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37474
---> python2-networkmanager (possible free to deletion. Updated pkgbuild
but the created package doesn't work)



# python-htmltmpl
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34539
---> python2-htmltmpl (or deletion. I updated it, but the last package
which required this got an update. And since it's from 2001. Possible it
doesn't work like intended)

Not deleted, since the source link in the comment works fine.

Not deleted, the source link works for me.

I didn't rename these because this can only be done if a package with
the new name has been uploaded. Maybe I will do this later but I don't
think it's very pressing since there are still packages in [extra] that
use a "python-" prefix when they should use "python2-". Thanks!

Good to know about that.


And again. I'm back with some more requests *duck*

# utube:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21994
There exists an other version
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23584
And before I applied the changes to the PKGBuild of utube-gtk both
PKGBuilds were the same.


# xpdf-openmotif
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39525
Newer version for the same: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51660

# wpa_supplicant-libeap:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39439
Patchfile not available. and propably duplicate of
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39378
(PKGBuilds do more or less the same and it's noted about the duplicate
in the comments)


# tetex:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1746
Not sure what about that. Texlive-core provides tetex. And aur-helpers
point to the repo version.


# revhosts:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15345
Sourcelink and page dead

# transmission-gtk-ipv6:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45144
Original maintainer wanted it to be deleted

# zexy:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19274
---> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58141 The creator of this
package wonders, if they should be merged


# xulrunner-qt:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36107
Submitter vote for deletion, because this package isn't needed anymore



Greetings

Old, unmaintained PKGBUILDs for programs that depend on "some Latex
distribution" have "tetex" in the depends array. That is why
texlive-core provides tetex. But they are different animals. Some people
still prefer tetex, so it's not a good idea to delete this.

Deleted. Thanks!

It's me again. And got some more

# twitturse:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38149
Source link dead

# todd:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47826
Source link dead

# theyoke:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29935
Voted for deletion (newer (git-)pkgbuild exists)

# teatime-applet
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13514
Source link dead

# supplement-git:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53946
Maintainer changed to: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53957

#sunlight:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38134
Duplicate of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38286
(Beside the fact that the PKGBuild is quite outdated)

# stay-volume:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29045
Target cannot be found under the source link

# stackless-python-kozzi:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14915
Original contributor orphaned it. Beside that there exists other
stackless-python PKGBuilds, which are newer and maintained



One question. What about outdated PKGBuilds of beta/alpha/rc releases?
How are they handled?
For example https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36850 Stable is
far more advanced, PKGBuild orphaned since two years...
