Hi everyone,
today I noticed I was unable to push to the AUR repository for the pijul package with the server hook error message "remote: error: package already provided by [community-testing]: pijul".
Sure enough, the package exists in the Community-Testing repository (see https://archlinux.org/packages/community-testing/x86_64/pijul/).
Now, as far as I understand, packages can be "promoted" to the community / community-testing repository, however, in this case it seems like a new package with the same name has been created. Is this the usual procedure? What will my responsibilities as packager of the AUR pijul package be? What happens to the AUR package? Should I just leave it as it is? Submit a delete request?
Thanks for your help! Markus
My suggestion is to file a delete request. That's what I do when one of my AUR packages goes to an official repository. Best regards, Rafael Fontenelle
