@jsoo1 Are you still interested in maintaining ArangoDB in Nixpkgs? I noticed we’re on a version from over two years ago that pins a GCC that has been EOL for as long. |

@emilazy let me find out. |

@emilazy looks like we don't need it. So I don't think I should be maintainer anymore |

Thanks for confirming! I’ll probably proceed with dropping the package then, as it seems there’s not much interest in keeping it updated. |

Can I maintain it for now? |

@VlaDexa If the latest version builds with a supported version of GCC (13, 14, or 15), I’d be happy to review a PR packaging it. Note that since this PR was opened in response to a request for versioned attributes, we’d probably want to introduce it with a version suffix, and dropping the current version should not get in the way of packaging the newer one. |

This requires an EOL GCC to build. The version is over two years old; the latest version is 3.12.5.2. The listed package maintainer [no longer uses the package]. If another version is packaged that builds with a supported compiler, this can be re‐added; per the [request from 2023] to restore versioned suffixes, it should likely not be upgraded in place anyway, to avoid unexpected data migrations. [no longer uses the package]: <NixOS#255012 (comment)> [request from 2023]: <NixOS#254866>
