Good evening to everybody, actually I fixed the two delete requests for the package in topic: - 1st one was made because of many problems of my package, which are now fixed (below there's the deletion request email) - 2nd one was made by me for error. Waiting for requests to be deleted.

[aur-general] frivolous deletion requests
by Xyne 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hi, I think we need to add some guidelines to the request form to reduce the number of frivolous deletion requests. For example, someone requested a deletion of a package because "broken, crashes on dll load". The form should include a message such as "Technical issues for active projects should be reported in the comments section so that the maintainer can devise a solution and contact upstream if necessary. Deletion requests should only be made for discontinued projects." Opinions? Regards, Xyne
