Hi All,
I recently noticed an update for the jbidwatcher package. I could not find the package using the aur web interface, so I proceeded to get the package off of an AUR 3 backup (in addition to there being a new version the license had also changed), and then updated the PKGBUILD. When I went to push to git, though, remote rejected my push. I then git cloned the package and found that the AUR3 package was hidden from the AUR web interface, but available on git.
Is this normal? Should I harass the original maintainer of the AUR 3 package, or can someone unlock the package on the aur so I can push to it?
Thanks,
Tyler
It means that for whatever reason the package was deleted from the AUR.
The git repos of deleted AUR packages are not purged, and you should be able to clone and repush to restore the package. (I assume your push was rejected because it was a force-push over the contents of the previous history -- which is a no-no. ;))
Or just ssh aur@aur.archlinux.org restore foo -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 0x50FB9B273A9D0BB5 https://theos.kyriasis.com/~kyrias/
