I saw that packages meant for Manjaro or another archlinux based distro - not ArchLinux itself - were removed.
Were they removed because they were Manjaro related or for some other reason?
As far as I remember, they were Manjaro related, like mhwd (Manjaro Hardware Detection) tools or something like this.
"FAQ What kind of packages are permitted on the AUR?
The packages on the AUR are merely "build scripts", i.e. recipes to build binaries for pacman. For most cases, everything is permitted, subject to usefulness and scope guidelines, as long as you are in compliance with the licensing terms of the content. For other cases, where it is mentioned that "you may not link" to downloads, i.e. contents that are not redistributable, you may only use the file name itself as the source. This means and requires that users already have the restricted source in the build directory prior to building the package. When in doubt, ask." - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#FAQ
Well, I'm not sure what to think about them. Some are forks for manjaro tools (like mhwd). So are they "legal" on AUR? Some days ago, chaotic keyring - repository of Garuda Linux - was removed. So, these packages could be remove too.

I'm just asking what trusted users think about these packages. Nothing less, nothing more. -- Frederic Bezies fredbezies@gmail.com
