TU Alad has deleted this package:

File an orphan request, duplicate packages with meaningless "fixed" suffixes are not acceptable.

IGNORING the entire reason for creating the package - to merge the fixed version to the existing package, the request for which was done minutes after the package was created.

What the hell?

Merge does not do what you think it does. This is not github. Read the AUR wiki page.

"Merge requests are for when one package is replacing another one. Users still have to resubmit a package under a new name and may request merging of the old version's comments and votes. This has nothing to do with 'git merge' and is not similar to github's merge requests."

"Users still have to resubmit a package under a new name"

"resubmit...new name"

i never made the claim this was github, and i find it silly that you're inferring i ever had that assumption. -- brent saner https://square-r00t.net/ GPG info: https://square-r00t.net/gpg-info
