What is the current state of Deepin (DDE 25?)

I notice a litany of out of date/orphaned packages in AUR, the official repos seem to be doing better though: https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q … =&flagged=

There's still a lot marked out of date, so I'm curious if it's actually going to work (ie it probably has bits of the old and the new...)

Re: What is the current state of Deepin (DDE 25?)

the packages in the aur are extra packages, example for python-django-docs is in the aur, while it's not needed it's extra and complements it, meaning it's not needed to build python-django

And if it is out of date, you can do three things, adopt the package to update it, update it yourself, flag it as out of date and wait for the maintainer to update it

this also is a when will x be updated which is discouraged

but to answer the question try it and see, if it works, great, if not make a bug report
