[Solved] OpenArena removed from community?

I went to install OpenArena on a new system of mine today and noticed it is no longer in the Community repo. What happened? I found it in AUR, but have not given it a try to see how well it works.

I guess nobody wanted to maintain it.

That makes sense, I was thinking their was a larger issue. I thought the game was pretty popular I figured there wouldn't be issue in keeping the packages maintained.

The only issue I know of was with freeorion https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail … 25566.html
FYI, tremulous got dropped to AUR too https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tremulous/

It might end back up in community some day.  Some packages have been known to go back and forth.  But to be in community/extra/core, one of the TUs put it there.
