Hi Michael, you can use 'replaces': https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#replaces If the package should stay on the aur this still does not help much, so you'd need to write a comment to the aur package page and tell users to move to the new package. I'd keep it a month and then open a deletion request. People with an aur helper will possibly miss the change if they dont subscribe on updates, but they will possibly notice the missing package, I am not sure. No matter what, you have no other option than that (correct me if i am wrong). Cheers Nico On 12/26/20 11:17 AM, Michael Kogan via aur-general wrote:
Hi guys,
I maintain the multiload-ng AUR packages, in particular xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng-gtk2 and xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng-gtk3. After the recent Xfce 4.16 update the gtk2 version stopped building, so I would like to delete xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng-gtk2 and somehow migrate the users to xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng-gtk3 (which should be renamed to just xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng if possible). What are my options making the transition as smooth as possible?
Thanks for any input and merry Christmas! Michael
