[SOLVED] What happened to pepper-flash?

It looks like pepper-flash was removed from the AUR in the last 12 hours of so. It's still referred to in the wiki. Does anyone know what happened to this package?

Also, as a more general question, when a package gets removed from the AUR, is there any kind of log to show why it's been removed, or are the removal requests and comments inaccessible now?

(Also, webkitgtk2 appears to have been removed, but I'm not sure if it was in the AUR or official repositories… and not sure how to tell.)

Pepper flash still builds fine - if you want to maintain it go for it.

Pepper-flash is in [extra] now. Arch never fails to amaze big_smile

Regarding webkitgtk2 it was killed with fire and nuked from high orbit since it is unmaintained upstream and full of security holes[1].

Yes, that was partially what confused me. I would have been more than happy to maintain it, but I was just confused as to where it went.

Ahhh… I always forget that the mirrors are slightly behind. I posted when the AUR had been updated and my mirror had not. Thanks for that information. I've also updated the wiki.

Oh okay. Thanks. I can't even remember why I had it installed, so I'll nuke it locally too. Cheers.
