Hi@all,
I searched whether elster (a program for German tax declaration) was present in the aur (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=elster) and found out it wasn't. When I finished my own PCKBUILD and tried to upload it, I noticed that there already was a git repo with that name (ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/elster.git).
How can that be?
While the original script is a meta package only, mine will download and install the latest version of the package via wine.
Should I ask for deletion or what could I do?
Original package maintainer is in CC.
Cheers!
Git repos are not deleted when packages are. You just clone the repo, make your changes, and push it.
