hey all,
Today a package i co maintain (telegram-desktop-bin) was deleted because "Package exists in official community repo", but since we used prebuilt binary as source I did not think that would have applied.
So guess I'd just like a word on what the first point in the rules of submission means: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submissi...
Cheers, Ben a.k.a silentnoodle
So basically: * telegram-desktop in community is git release 3.3.0 build by Arch Maintainers * telegram-desktop-bin in AUR is git release 3.3.0 build by upstream
For the end user, those two are basically the same package. Therefore the AUR package is a duplicate.
No, they aren't. I haven't looked into the request but if this is indeed the case, the package was incorrectly deleted. Cheers, Filipe Laíns
