Why the rush to drop these packages ?
Currently it is working, when none of the TU/DEV are willing/able to
continue the development of the alpm backend for packagekit and at some
point things break, then it would be a good time to drop those packages
from community.

Hi guys,

I am planning to complete the porting of the alpm backend to packagekit
0.8+ I reached out to Jonathan a few weeks ago and he was very helpful
in bring me up to speed on what's left to be done. Sadly, I have not had
the time to get it done yet. Things at work are going to slow down a lot
for me once the holiday season is over and getting the port finished is
definitely high up on my to do list. This thread caught my eye as I was
scanning through email so I  thought I should take a second to make my
plans known :)

Happy Holidays!

I didnt see this message before but wanted to add that I agree. The 0.7x
branch of packagekit is still supported upstream so there is no need to
hastly drop the packages. Of course thats only my opinion, it's
obviously up to you guys as TU's.

[aur-general] Delete and Merge requests

[Doug Newgard]

**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Maintainer said in the comments that the package is obsolete and needs to be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Out of date duplicate of sphinx, nothing worth merging: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

Good to hear that you'll work on this, so we can keep the packages.
It's an important task, because the latest version of Apper and GNOME
Software depend on the 0.8 branch now.

Ike, then go ahead, and adopt these packages.
