The standard is to put non-GAR recipes in legacy, so they do conform
to the standard ;-)

They have. Most of them are from previous (retired) maintainers who
sent me their old build recipes for the packages they have released.
To not loose them a second time I decided to commit them for reference
if someone wants to take them over. If you start working on these please
move
   <pkgname>/trunk/legacy
to
   <pkgname>/tags/legacy
I probably should have put it there from the start :-/


Best regards
