[SOLVED]Why were packages kdebase-runtime and phonon-qt4 moved to AUR?

Hello,

after update/upgrade system I noticed that packages kdebase-runtime and phonon-qt4 were moved from official repository to AUR. Do you know why, please?

I'm asking because for installation I have to accept new GPG (or skip it) and I'm not sure if is this secure:

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key DBD2CE893E2D1C87

Many thx for your answer. :]

Because KDE4 is extremely old and stale, and uses qt4. See also: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/a … 29332.html
