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?
That means the package existed before and was deleted. We still keep the git tree even if the package was removed from the web interface (you can see it here as well: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/?h=elster).
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?
Clone the existing git tree, do your modifications, commit and then push. This will restore the package with you as maintainer. Regards, Bruno
