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 community can't do anything to help you, retaliation would be a breach of CoC, we physically can't support you in that way. It sounds like you need package maintainer (formerly trusted user) support on this matter, they will be able to sort it out. If you don't mind me asking where are you being insulted/harassed? If its on IRC, contact one of the following opers for support: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_IRC_channels#Channel_operators If its on the mailing list, a moderator will pick it up (be patient) or you can contact the mailing list admins (sorry don't know who they are). If it is offlisted, forward the emails to a moderator and make a complaint about the harassment, or spam their emails, or even better if you own a mail server (which unfortunately you don't) you could bounce them.
Even today, labor day, when I want to spend time with my 3 kids, I have to be on the computer basically doing code review.
Arch Linux is volunteering, not a full time job, you do not have any requirement to contribute, especially on holidays. Even if you are slapped with an orphan request, you will be given time to respond and explain how you have been busy, package maintainer (trusted users) are not arseholes, they aren't going to yank packages from you for spending time with your family.
During the last 12 days, the package has 1) always compiled and built
Now, I was recommended to make some changes
If the package works, there is no rush to make changes. Sure its always good to strive for clean, efficient packaging which follows standards, but just having it working is good enough, you don't need to stress over juggling time to simply improve a package. Also if they want said changes (if they are larger than "add x dependency" or "remove y dependency", then they should really give you a patch to contribute, complaining is unhelpful).
1) The other package is not being deleted: motivewave-latest-bin
The application seems to be proprietary, this package does not follow the packaging guidelines, proprietary apps do not have source code and thus do not need to be marked as binaries, thus "motiveware" is the correct name. I assume the -latest was so that they could claim a different package name to obsolete the package your maintain because they got fed up of waiting for you to be orphaned?
2) My package is being basically spammed.
They will get moderated, don't stress about it. If the email notifications are annoying just disable it until a staff member has time to help you :)
3) I am call the spammer
Then take the moral high ground and do not take revenge, wait for a staff member to help you, if you spam you will be caught in the moderation too!
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.
People submit a bunch of orphan requests for selfish reasons, whether it is because they simply want to maintain the package, whether they think their PKGBUILD is better, or they simply do not want to collaborate with others. Remember, the AUR requires collaboration, and I have met some of the nicest people through helping fix packages, or by them giving me patches to fix a problem they encountered with a package. Everyone must pull the rug in the same direction, or we get nowhere. However this doesn't stop people trying to orphan when they gave you 3 days to respond while you were busy with something else. But also bare in mind, taking your time to fix a problem is fine, but do not blank emails or messages on the AUR, that is a quick way to get orphaned, just be transparent and you should have no issues with being orphaned.
I have also received threads to have my account suspended/deleted
Unless you have done something wrong you don't need to worry :)
but I wake up today at 3:00 AM my phone is beeping again because the person that copied the package, Xiota, cannot stop.
You have reported it now, a lot of Arch Staff monitor this mailing list, just give it time. For the time being turn off notifications and wait until someone is available to help you. Good luck, nothing I can do here but I wanted to give you suggestions anyways :) Take care, -- Polarian GPG signature: 0770E5312238C760 Website: https://polarian.dev JID/XMPP: polarian@icebound.dev
