Hello Xavier, for the fifth time today
Hello
I would like the community to help and decide on what to do. I am the maintainer of motivewave There is a person that went and created a duplicate motivewave-latest-bin and went and publicly said I am incompetent and insinuated I was stupid.
The duplicated package was already solved and it's awaiting your fixes, like it was explained you multiple times by me. Unfortunately you continue to repeat this duplicated package story that's entirely irrelevant. xiota was already notified the package will be removed, awaiting your fixes. I've sent you more than 10 messages between email and comments explaining what you're doing wrong.
Now, I was recommended to make some changes
source=("${pkgname}-${pkgver}.deb::https://downloads.motivewave.com/builds/${build_id}/motivewave${pkgver}_amd64.deb <https://downloads.motivewave.com/builds/${build_id}/motivewave${pkgver}_amd64.deb>")
then: makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO
But that would break my package.
This wouldn't break anything if you typed the variable name properly. In your PKGBUILD you declared the variable _build_id and in the URL you used the variable spelled wrongly as build_id This is the issue for making you believe xiota is sabotaging you, YOUR OWN TYPO is the root of your issues. So please don't blame others for any sabotaging. Luckily this was fixed few hours ago. So this whole discussion, now is pointless. Why are you writing it here? It was your typo, not xiota's fault.
I found a solution with a custom variable, but 1) The other package is not being deleted: motivewave-latest-bin
When the duplicated package will be removed was already explained you, so why are you raising this question again? You first fix the issues in your package and stop accusations towards the people wasting their time in HELPING YOU. Later the duplicated package will be removed, this was well explained you multiple times.
2) My package is being basically spammed. 3) I am call the spammer
On 2023/08/26 you wrote 13 comments in your own package page On 2023/09/03 you wrote 24 comments in your own package page without even realizing your own errors This is what's called spam, to send 13+24 useless notifications (with ZERO valid content for your users) to any users subscribed to your package.
I would like the community to let me know if someone recommends you to add code, and the code doesn't work, then why is there a pushover from Xiota to orphan the package.
The code xiota gently wrote you multiple times was correct, until you make typos or forget to give the variables a value. Also this was explained you by me also by private email.
I have also received threads to have my account suspended/deleted
Now move the focus on your bad behavior: 1) it was kindly asked to stop spamming your users with tens of messages. This was partially solved today 2) it was asked you to fix the URL with a valid URL and you started to accuse xiota of sabotage to make your package defective. This wasn't solved at all, at the point I asked you to remove the offending comments or I'll suspend your AUR account 3) it was asked you to unpin the TENS of pinned messages, with unrelated content, your own questions, other people questions and other unrelated stuff. This wasn't solved at all, today I unpinned the messages 4) it was told to remove the variable $pkgname_scammer which you used to denote xiota package This was partially solved yesterday, renaming the variable but not removing the package conflict 5) I wrote you by email to send me your PKGBUILD which has the issues, in order to help you on finding the reason but unfortunately you continued to blame xiota of insulting you and trying to steal the package and acting like a terrorist 6) me and MarsSeed asked you to relax and don't panic, no one was attempting to steal your package but you continue to repeat xiota is trying to steal your package Also xiota sent you multiple times a fixed PKGBUILD but you haven't considered it. So, finally, I wrote you something which I'll regret soon: I'll fix your package, as you don't seem to see your own errors. As response to my offer you wrote two emails in aur-general asking help to other people, like someone (me?) was offending you. If you don't stop this childish and aggressive behavior towards people helping you your account will be suspended. This was well explained you two times, so consider this message of mine like a final warning. Be thankful, relaxed and stop accusing other people. Apart creating a duplicated package for which he agreed the deletion, xiota gave you his help MULTIPLE TIMES as you weren't able to fix the package by yourself. So please, for the last time, stop this useless war against your ghosts. No one insulted you and no one wanted or tried to steal your package. It was only your fault, your own errors (typo, spam, aggressive behaviour, low packaging skill), if you followed my advices two days ago, you had your package fixed. Finally I repeat my last hint I gave you today: I'd suggest you to add a co-maintainer to this package to help you in fixing it as you need to learn a lot in packaging.
