I think you should heed Antiz’s warnings. Links in another thread, or nothing. Cheers, Aᴀʀᴏɴ

In contrast to what he is stating about me, I do build and test the packages from AUR and give feedback and recommendations based on evidence. It is him who apparently does not build his own packages, because many of them have bad source URLs, missing runtime dependencies, and other misconfigurations.
Anyone can try to build, as an example, AUR/python2-pip's individual dependencies, and see how many fail to build. python2-pip has been broken on AUR due to unbuildable requirements ever since its submission in 2022-09. Even some that have been recently updated by him have such errors.
He is at this very moment keeping filing requesting deletion requests for dependencies of ipython2 because for some reason he is obsessed it does not to be working (this is even more stressing because we are talking of a super old package which has never ever stopped working at any time).
He first started attacking the dependencies, then the package then again the dependencies. Now we are back full circle. 1) The package is said broken because he has a dependency broken 2) Then the dependency is to delete because the package is said broken 3) Then the dependency is deleted, and the package can be said broken 4) Now when you fix the package fixing the dependency you have him say what he just sent about how my work is even damaging and the package should stay down in general.
I am tired this person does not use continuous integration to prove what he says.
He keeps and keeps asserting something does not work on his side yet he never posts code to prove or to show what his issues are. No propositions, no patches, nothing.
It's insane we can have somebody who complains about everything this way and who does not work to fix it himself.
Because if you work a lot he has a lot of attack surface.
So he is toxicity in person at this very moment, considering he is still sending requests while we talk here.
I invite you to reflect we are having this discussion because he can't fix his undisclosed issues himself, nor he provides neutral context for his issues, nor he is able to rollback to a previous version, nor he is able to maintain a propositive attitude and materially read the code.
At this point in time he looks so much of a child to me because he is saying somebody who maintains around 500 packages some are outdated as if I would not want to upgrade them.
