This following package does nothing. Or actually it does – it takes a lot of space (1GB). http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35338

Done. Totally useless package.

It would be nice if packages weren't just deleted, but moved somewhere else for inspection or just disabled somehow... -- Anders Bergh

Really... I can not think of one. I also think the account should be suspended. Allan

+1. Even if there weren't malicious intentions, it still shows a remarkable lack of common sense.

Late reply, but that doesn't really help since all what was posted was the ID of the package. Now that it has been deleted, I have no way of telling which package that was. I assume it wasn't "testtesttest". -- Anders Bergh

It was "testtesttest". Lukas

It was a package with an 1GB included "patch" file. But the so called "patch" wasn't in text form, it was something in binary form. Maybe we were misused as file hoster or somebody just tested something. -- Sicherer, schneller und einfacher.

When it first appeared (it was yesterday) it was empty PKGBUILD with description "I'm not trollin" and foo.patch which had 256MB. The patch seemed to be an empty file (like dd if=/dev/zero of=file). I thought the uploader will ask for deletion soon but I didn't see anyone asking for deletion of the package so I checked it on the AUR. It was there but the patch had 1GB! So I asked for deletion myself. Lukas

I could have sworn we had a file size cap on there. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the notice.

Well, if it was from /dev/zero, it compresses rather well and won't be affected by a file size limit.

Hmm. Any ideas on how we could avert this kind of issue?

Something like http://serverfault.com/questions/9930/get-extracted-size-from-tgz-before-ext... maybe?
