Revision as of 09:20, 17 May 2008
NOTE: TU's are currently working through the list. You can still add packages but please check the whole page first.
The AUR has a large number of obsolete packages which could use cleaning up. Examples of packages that may be cleaned up are:
- packages that have been renamed or replaced
- old and unmaintained developmental (cvs/svn/etc) packages
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. Please DO NOT REMOVE suggestions from the wiki page but add a comment on why it should be kept instead. TUs will not delete any useful package.

Package List
Add new packages here - check for the package in the sorted lists below before adding
- 9base-devel - Hasn't been update since 25/12/2005. I think its not needed.
- abraca-hg - Replaced by abraca-git
- advi - seems to be unmaintainable for the following reasons
- The newest version 1.7.3 needs camlimages 3.0.0, which cannot be found on the net
- camlimages' cvs-sources do not compile
- package advi 1.6.0 has a patchfile of 102k size
- package advi worked fine in former days but does does not compile anymore. It is a pity!
- alienarena2007 - Replaced by alienarena
- ampache-devel - Out of date since 08/19/07. It is also the stable branch, not development branch.
- audacious-mac - Included in audacious-plugins>=1.5.0
- audacious-xosd - Included in audacious-plugins>=1.5.0
- azrael - dead project, does not compile
- blender-svn-cloth - it was already merged to main svn trunk
- blender-svn-particles - merged to main svn trunk
- dx9wine - contains a patch not needed anymore
- e16-devel - Outdated, replaced by enlightenment in extra
- e16keyedit - Outdated, never updated since Tue, 05 Jul 2005
- ecamegapedal - Do not to compile.
- eclipse-kde - Dead
- eduke32 - Outdated, replaced by bin32-eduke32
- although it is outdated, it is not replaced by bin32-eduke32, 'cause bin32-eduke32 is for Arch64 bit (this is 32bit package)
- epiphany-unofficial-extensions - Out of date
- fusesmb or fusesmb2 - duplicate (and both outdated, version 8.7 is available)
- fftw2single - part of fftw2 from [extra]
- freeplayer - Dead, 404 on source
- freeciv-beta-svn - Outdated svn beta for version 2.1, stable 2.1 version already in Extra. Replaced by freeciv-svn
- gaim-openq-2006 - Old plugin for gaim that has since been merged into pidgin source
- galaxymage - Webpage is gone.
- galeon - doesn't compile (not even the latest version)
- gimp-freetype - This plugin was developed for gimp 2.0 and is not needed according to the notes here.
- gimp-resynth or gimp-plugin-resynthesizer - duplicate (best to keep latter)
- gmpc*-svn - replaced by git
- gnuserv - Deprecated in emacs-22+
- guifications-gaim2 - Outdated beta version, a current version is in community.
- ii-hg - outdated, probably discontinued as the project website isn't available anymore (moved maybe?)
- The project website is available at http://www.suckless.org/wiki/tools/irc/irc_it, so it's not dead. It only needs some changes to work again. --CuleX
- ion-modules - ion3 is not part of official repos anymore so i dont see why this should stay here. I hope AUR CleanUp involves [community].
- The modules should be updated, but there's an ion3 package in the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16754 --CuleX
- ionice - part of util-linux-ng
- jabberd1* - jabberd v.2 is in extra

- mouseemu - Project not updated since 2006; xautomation also allows mouse emulation.

- I don't think it is. This packages has more codecs than the "codecs" package. It has more DLLs.

- Can be used for web development – 6xx
- For composer functionality, seamonkey does a better job.
- openarena - Obsolete, remplaced by openarena-bin

- rb_libtorrent-svn - not needed, strange download location
- rs_rtorrent - duplicate package, already in [community]
- rt61-cvs - This driver is included in linus's tree and is therefore obsolete

- sonic-rainbow - dead project, does not compile
- stepmania-bin - orphan, replaced by stepmania
- swiftfox-pentium2 - obsolete for a long time.
- Super Mario War - The source is no longer hosted through svn. Could be easily updated though...
- supertux-svn - It won't compile since it uses cmake insted of jam ... it must be easy to update
- swiftfox-* 2.x optimized builds of various Mozilla products; several are orphaned and out-of-date. swiftfox3 available.
- swt-devel - I only created it to compile tuxguitar against it, but that's not needed. And it seems nobody is using it.
- tar-fixed - This bug is verified fixed in tar 1.20

TU Working Area
For editing by TUs only! The wiki has a history so do not think you can get away with ignoring this... --Allan
Packages to Remove
- 4c - source & home page not reachable, contributor informed on 28.4. no change since then --Dragonlord
- amavisdnew - duplicat package, orphaning and taking over the older one would be better (orphaning all dotnetfireball's packages??) --Dragonlord

- creapkg - source can't be reached --Dragonlord
- emacs-without-x - already gone --Dragonlord
- ethereal - available as wireshark in [extra] --Dragonlord

- firefox2-ca - firefox2 is depreciated. --Allan
- peerguardian - "no PeerGuardian for Linux" --Dragonlord
- wildfire - Replaced by openfire. --pressh
Packages to Keep
- amavisd-new - older release, better name, perhaps qwak can it take over. amavisdnew out of date anyway --Dragonlord
- boombox - if it can be patched (don't know how though) and PKGBUILD updated, I see no reason to delete it --Dragonlord
- cddb - compiles fine, just old --Dragonlord
- exult - if properly patched and PKGBUILD cleaned --Dragonlord
- flumotion - needs update only --Dragonlord
- fretsonfire, bin32-fretsonfire - bin32 prefix is recommendable for packages with lib32-* dependencies --Allan
- gnash-cvs - still uses CVS, needs just an update --Dragonlord
- java3d - needs just an update --Dragonlord
- pinkytagger - Outdated by two years. (comment by Dragonlord:Latest version 2.1-0 (October 21, 2007) needs new musicbrainz, which is out of date in [extra]) --pressh
