AUR Cleanup Day/2010

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

• abraca-hg - Replaced by abraca-git
• alienarena2007 - Replaced by alienarena
• azrael - dead project, does not compile
• fusesmb or fusesmb2 - duplicate (and both outdated, version 8.7 is available)
• fftw2single - part of fftw2 from [extra]
• gimp-resynth or gimp-plugin-resynthesizer - duplicate (best to keep latter)
• ionice - part of util-linux-ng
• kdelibs-noarts - out-of-date, modified official package
• kernel26thinkpad - obsolete, out of date since 2006
• mutt-cvs - mutt switched to mercurial a while back; way outdated anyway.
• openssh-snapshot - Not needed anymore
• sonic-rainbow - dead project, does not compile
• stepmania-bin - orphan, replaced by stepmania
• tar-fixed - I'm not really sure, but I think this bug was fixed in tar 1.20
