[aur-general] Inactive TU -- Federico Cinelli
Hi, since it was mentioned on IRC: It looks like Federico Cinelli is inactive and should be brought up for special removal according to [1]. We usually try not to be overly pedantic with these rules, but Federico has been MIA for a long time now: * Last SVN commit on 2013-12-04. * Did not send a mail to the mailing lists for ~6 months. * Inactive on the AUR (there are orphan requests for his packages). * Inactive on the bug tracker. * Inactive on IRC. I sent him an email a couple of days ago but didn't receive a reply. Hope he is doing well! Let the discussion period begin, the voting period will start on 2014-08-05.

Re: [aur-general] Moving noip from [community] to AUR
Do not do this. The noip client is GPL licensed F/OSS software (it's right there in the COPYING file in the tarball). Just because it connects to a commercial service does not mean it deserves to be removed from the official package repository. Take, for example, various GMail clients, Chromium (re:Google Sync and various google services), various AWS/EC2/S3 clients/libraries in [extra]/[community], etc. Additionally, while I don't use noip, some users want choices. Would you remove vim just because emacs exists? You should not remove it on the grounds that there are alternatives. (Let's not make judgments on which is better - you wouldn't want to start a vim vs emacs debate here.)
