Often it seems the tool you are using is not very good at finding out whether a perl package is already in the repos or not.
The tool doesn't check. I have to do that by hand. I'm not aware of any tool that does.
pacman does... "pacman -Ss perl-set-infinite" makes it quite clear that this package is in [community]. One of the old perl package generators used to give a error if a package was already in the repo so it can be done.
Perhaps you could improve that, to avoid annoying the TUs every couple of days ;)
Instead of asking me not to make a mistake how about we allow authors to delete there own packages from AUR?
We had issues with people adopting a bunch of packages and deleting them. So this is not going to happen.
I suppose the final option is to make me a TU so that I can handle my own deletions.
So make you a TU so you can clean up your frequent mistakes... does not sound a convincing argument! :P
