[aur-general] Possible spam account
Hi guys, The user InstallerLegacy [1] just adopted gnome-vfs [2], added himself, including a contact address, to the PKGBUILD head without any further changes, then orphaned the package again two minutes thereafter. Since the account has been created just today, maintains no packages and lists further contact information like a website URL and contact address, I suspect it to be a spam account. Best, Michael [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/InstallerLegacy [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnome-vfs/

Not sure it's a spam account as that user did seemingly improve the "crafty" package [1]. Randomly putting one's name on packages is rather tacky, however, and I've reverted the commit. Thanks for the notice! [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=crafty&id=7717ea48ec30537968558954783a6ac0c83d3c02
