retroshare 0.6.6 was last released in early 2021 and no longer builds. The current build appears to still be functional. I've requested a new release. Assuming no new release is tagged, some options:

• Drop retroshare from package lists. Metrics are 5.
  • Keep existing binary until it's no longer functional?
  • Remove existing binary?
• Switch to retroshare-git.
  • Keep existing binary until it's no longer functional?
  • Remove existing binary?

If for some reason they decline to make a release, switching to -git could be reasonable.

Upstream does have a 0.6.7-RC2 tagged since Aug 2023. So maybe a real release will be "soon"?

I adopted aur/retroshare and have pinned it to a working commit. Also, retroshare-git is in chaotic for testing.
