Hi,
I first created AUR packages from binary file (`dagu-bin`, `oathkeeper-bin` and `kratos-bin`) but it is best to build them from source.
I recreated them from source, I would like to know if it is possible to delete the binary version. I would like to maintain only the one from source.
I could disown and wait for them to disappear but it looks cleaner to directly delete them and direct potential users to the correct/maintain one.
Thanks, Mek Yt
AUR to delete:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dagu-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oathkeeper-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kratos-bin
PS: - `oathkeeper-bin` and `kratos-bin` use `ory-` namespace now (`ory-kratos` and `ory-oathkeeper`) - `oathkeeper-bin` and `kratos-bin` where duplicate (with service files) of orphan `ory-oathkeeper-bin` and `ory-kratos-bin`
Just one small observation: are these your projects, or did you just make the PKGBUILDs for them? If they're your projects and you want to keep control over the packages, you should probably keep and maintain the -bin versions; if they are useful to many then someone is likely to recreate the -bin versions after they're deleted and now you have to rely on them to keep them updated. Even if the projects take seconds to compile from source, some people still prefer the -bin versions. For instance, popular AUR helpers yay and paru have -bin equivalents even though they take mere seconds to compile and have few dependencies.
