Hi,
A TU "gtmanfred" have just decided to remove one of my package just one minute after he commented on the package pointed out the missing package() in the PKGBUILD without any further explaination.
The package is python-django-git[0], which I have uploaded 2-3 days ago[1] to replacing two old packages including one with 3 vote that I uploaded last Nov.
I have already re-upload the package[0] since I don't think anything is wrong with the package (especially not for the package name, I can fix it if anything else with the package is wrong). And I just want to know if that was a delete by mistake or a missing package() somehow is enough reason to remove a package within ~1min after notifying the maintainer now?

Please follow packageing guidelines, anything that touches $pkgdir should be inside the package() function. repackaging without a package() function has been deprecated https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2010-April/010620.html and PKGBUILDs without a package() function have been depricated https://patchwork.archlinux.org/patch/515/ https://www.archlinux.org/todo/clean-up-pkgdir-usage/ -- Daniel Wallace Archlinux Trusted User (gtmanfred) Georgia Institute of Technology
