Hi
I stumpled upon an AUR package where the install file executes the installed program[0]. My assumption is, managing the start of services is done by the user and shouldn't happen on installing a package.
And now I'm wondering if there is a rule about this (didn't find one) or more like an agreement to not do such a thing. Or is it even perfectly fine to implement it.
Best regards Lex

Yeah, that package should definitely not be doing that.
