The gnome project moved their source repositories from svn to git(1). Maybe that's old news for some readers but It's certainly not for all of them . All gnome-related svn PKGBUILDS are already obsolete or will become obsolete in the near future .
I wonder what is the best solution in this case . Let individual maintainers upload new git packages and ask for removal of the old svn ones ? (1) http://svn.gnome.org
