Not only that, he was told about several problems with the package in the comments but refused to accept that they were problems and told the person who commented on them to "NOT WASTE [HIS] TIME AGAIN".. To be honest it doesn't sound like he's fit to maintain AUR packages.
Agreed on all the above points. But further, the responses to comments seem borderline abusive. When one maintains a PKGBUILD they can - to an extent - do things however they wish. But the following comment from the maintainer just screams irony: "PLEASE do not comment unless you have spent significant time thinking about what you are going to say or going to ask. " I don't know anything about this package - but the maintainer who offered this advice can be clearly seen in the comments to not have followed his own advice. I don't know whether axper's comments may be right or wrong, but they were continually offered in a tactful and responsible manner. One can do whatever they wish with their own PKGBUILDs, but implicit in having them held on the AUR server is an agreement to interact with the community of Arch Users in a responsible and appropriate manner. This implicit requirement does not seem to be currently being met by the maintainer. -Jesse AKA Trilby on archlinux.org
