[SOLVED] Get information about package deletions

quequotion · 2018-09-29 13:16:47

In the small picture, I'm looking to find out what happened with gimp-gtk3-git, transmission-csd, and libhttpseverywhere. (obsolete? replaced by something? upstream cancelled the project?)

In the bigger picture, it would be handy to be able to find out what happened to a package that has gone missing from the AUR (ie, see the text of the deletion request).

Is there any way to do this once a deletion request has been accepted and when one is not the package mantainer?

Currently Google is the easiest option to find old requests:
https://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:a … 0gimp-gtk3

You could also download the full aur-requests archive and then search in the mbox file.

Edit: The transmission-csd package was renamed to transmission-csd-git without any requests. The pkgbase is still transmission-csd, but the package name is now transmission-csd-git. libhttpseverywhere might have been deleted because it was outdated and orphaned for too long. There are no requests or logs in that case.
