<hr />
<div>[[Category: Arch development (English)]][[Category: General (English)]]<br />
'''TU's are currently working through the list'''. You can still add packages but please check the whole page first. '''The TUs will not delete any useful package.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
The AUR has a large number of obsolete packages which could use cleaning up. Examples of packages that may be cleaned up are:<br />
*packages that have been renamed or replaced<br />
*old and unmaintained developmental (cvs/svn/etc) packages<br />
<br />
Post suggestions of packages on this pages. Trusted Users will get together and go though the list in a couple of weeks and confirm which packages should be removed.<br />
<br />
'''Please DO NOT REMOVE suggestions from the wiki page but add a comment on why it should be kept instead. Please list packages in alphabetical order!'''<br />
<br />
==Package List==<br />
'''Add new packages here''' - check for the package in the sorted lists below before adding<br />

==Remove from Filesystem==<br />
<br />
There are files on the AUR filesystem that have been created when poorly formed packages were uploaded. This is a secondary consideration.<br />
<br />
There are also directories in /packages/ for which the package no longer exists. These probably need to be removed as well. All the packages that moved to community ALSO still exist there.<br />
<br />
List here files that are in directories of existing packages.<br />
