Hi,
Is there a way to retrieve package metadata from aur3 (votes and comments) and migrate them to aur4? There was a question about merging comments during the aur3-to-aur4 migration period, but I am wondering if that is still possible. If data is still around, perhaps a script could be written that extracts the appropriate information and adjusts it for aur4. (It seems unfortunate that some of the packages that were migrated too late lost all of that metadata.)
Cheers, Ivan
As far as I know, all the metadata was deleted. (I'm not happy about this either.) The PKGBUILDs, however, are archived. You can fetch a PKGBUILD from the archive and push it to aur4 if you would like to maintain it. https://github.com/aur-archive --Kyle
