php-horde?

I was shocked to see that there are no php=horde packages.  Well, there are some packages in AUR, but the source URL is misconfigured and points to a book on amazon.com -- I flagged them all as out of date.

Does anyone know why there are no Arch php-horde packages?

Don't flag packages out of date if they're broken. Leave a comment and a link to a working PKGBUILD or a diff.
If no dev or TU wants to maintain a package, this package is not in the repos. Why is it shocking?

It's shocking because I've never looked for anything in the AUR that I didn't find there, and Horde is a fairly popular groupware/webmail system.

If I create packages for Horde myself, what happens to all the stuff that's broken/out-of-date?  Does this get taken out of the AUR eventually?

You can ask to take these packages over, just be sure to contact the current maintainers first.

Re: php-horde?

Horde is now on version 5 (the version in AUR appears to be version 2) and they've introduced their own packaging system; i.e. everything has changed dramatically, so it likely won't be a good idea or even possible to perserve the existing packaging scheme.  How would it be handled in this case?

You should ask this on https://lists.archlinux.org/listinfo/aur-general
