Hi,

I have recently taken up maintenance of the orphaned package xf86-input-egalax https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35045

This package will replace the package xf86-input-egalax-linux3 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55050 to provide a more standard package name.

Can someone please check the PKGBUILD in xf86-input-egalax to confirm I have written it correctly so when users with package xf86-input-egalax-linux3 next update, it will be replaced with xf86-input-egalax?

Upon this confirmation, can we please merge xf86-input-egalax-linux3 into xf86-input-egalax?

I also notice there are 2 other orphaned packages which provide the same functionality. They are both out of date, orphaned and no longer build. Can these be deleted please?

touchkit: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18766
xf86-input-egalax-beta: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43641

There is a 3rd out of date package which no longer builds, but is not orphaned. It has not been updated since 23 June 2010.

xf86-input-egalax-xorg18: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38300

Do I need to contact this maintainer first before requesting the package to be deleted?

Thanks.
Lachlan.
