Please merge rmlint [1] into rmlint-git [2]. GitHub dropped named

 downloads
 a while ago, and thus the package is outdated.

 Thanks

 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rmlint-git/

It's out of date, but I don't know about outdated. You can still get

 release tarballs from Github.

But the release tarballs reflect the current state of master, if I'm not
 mistaken.

Nope, they reflect tags. You can get a tarball of master as well, but
 that's not what I'm talking about.


As far as I can tell from the repo, the only existing tag is '1.0.6b',
 which makes the AUR package more recent. Am I missing something?

Just that the author is really bad at versioning. 1.0.8 in the AUR is from Apr 2011, the 1.0.6b tag is from Nov 2012, and 1.0.0 in the debian dir is from Mar 2013.
Then rmlint should package the 1.0.6b version found on GitHub if it is indeed the most recent. No need to merge into the git counterpart.
