Hi all, I've felt that it's necessary to summarize up my thoughts towards this messy WeChat situation on the AUR. Above all, the "wechat-uos-bwrap" is the first package containing the new (and originally leaked on a BBS...) so called "Universal" version on the AUR. And there a clearly evidences showing that other packages such as "wechat-beta-bwrap" and "wechat-universal-bwrap" (sorry for the typo before) are duplicate packages of the original "wechat-uos-bwrap". Thus, according to the AUR submission guidelines[a] such packages should not be submitted to AUR in the first place. If one want to change the package name, they should discuss this in the comments area under the package details in the AURWeb. Secondly, referring to screenshots provided before[b][c] and a link from their official BBS[d], the UOS AppStore operator clearly states that this "Universal" version is an upgrade to the old Electron one. Therefore, like php and postgresql, having the old "legacy" (or LTS) version packaged as a separate package because of the fact that it's still a newer version of WeChat, not something completely new which changed its functionality. It's still a chat client connecting to Tencent's private servers. On top of that, the new WeChat is still exclusive to the UOS operating system, requiring system files from UOS to login correctly. So, maintaining the old wechat-uos. This can be proved by the chat log from #archlinux-cn-appearance[e][f]. One thing to mention is that the original maintainer of "wechat-uos" has become inactive for some amount of time. It is suggested that granting Maintainer ownership to previously active maintainer sukanka, who is willing to maintain this package again. Once this is done, "wechat-uos-legacy" should be made and all other packages should be merged into "wechat-uos", solving this messed up situation. -- Sincerely, Kimiblock [a]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submissi...
