[Slackbuilds-users] Orphaned dependencies

We have a lot of orphaned builds. I'm trying to get rid of the ones
that have been orphaned for a long time... but some of them are
requirements for other builds that are *not* orphaned.

The following is a list of orphaned builds, each with a sub-list
of builds that depend on it, along with their maintainers.

If you see your name here, you should take over maintenance of the
orphaned build(s) that your builds depend on. In most cases, there's
no need to actually update the build you're taking over (unless you
just want to).

To take over one of these builds, just send us an update (via website
or github/gitlab) setting the name/email in the .info file to your
contact info. You don't need to ask the old maintainer for permission
because there isn't one (they're already orphaned/unmaintained).
