Question about aur package existing in git, but not visible in aur
Hi, The package toggl-cli is not visible in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=toggl-cli. But it still exists in ssh://aur.archlinux.org/toggl-cli.git The package has not been updated since 2016. commit dd7340e8804776df85fe1eb82a79384e7f1349fb (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Date: Mon Feb 22 06:00:17 2016 -0300 I was about to release a new package for this pkgbase ( https://github.com/watercooler-labs/toggl-cli). Can I request a deletion / reset of ssh://aur.archlinux.org/toggl-cli.git to use this pkgbase ? Salutations, Julien
Ey, If the package doesn't exist but its repository does, it means the package existed but was deleted. Anyone can now push to that repository to list the package again, but I'd advise you to search for the deletion request first. Cheers, Aᴀʀᴏɴ
Hey Aaron, Thanks for the prompt reply. I did find the the deletion request: https://lists.archlinux.org/hyperkitty/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org... I was also able to push to ssh://aur.archlinux.org/toggl-cli.git without issue, so thanks for your explanation. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/toggl-cli is now available.

Hello, Seen as it is a new package I decided to read over it :) Just a little thing, glibc and gcc-libs are within the base package, these will be installed on all Arch Linux systems... therefore they do not need to be within depends(). Putting them there doesn't hurt, but if you want to you can simply remove these :) Secondly, it might be worth asking upstream to provide signed tarballs for future versions, the autogenerated tarballs from Github sometimes exclude code (for example submodules, however it doesn't appear submodules are used here so this isn't a issue), and the second reason is for authenticity. Signed sources are a "use if upstream provides them" basis, but I found a lot of upstreams will be happy to provide the sources signed for packaging, doesn't hurt asking? I haven't got much experience with rust packaging, so I can't really vouch for the quality of the package, but it does appear to follow the packaging guidelines well :) One thing, just me being picky, whats up with the weird indentation on line 23?
