[aur-general] Confusing situation with python-crontab vs python-crontab2
Hi, there seem to be two packages for python-crontab: - python-crontab: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-crontab/ - python-crontab2: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-crontab2/ The same is true for the appropriate python2-* packages. The version without the appended 2 are orphaned and no longer maintained. To make things less confusing I would strongly argue to merge these packages (i.e. delete that latter one(s) and adopt the former one). Ideally tadly, the maintainer of the *-crontab2 packages should do this for himself, but if he is no longer interested in maintaining these packages I would adopt them for myself. What do you guys think about that? Best regards, Karol Babioch

All that really needs doing is python-crontab getting adopted and python-crontab2 being deleted; the latter shouldn't have existed in the first place and doesn't appear to contain anything meaningful that warrants merging. Just adopt the former and file a deletion request on the latter.

In the mean time Tadly, the current maintainer of python-crontab2 has got back to me and told me that he will take care of it and that he didn't realize that python-crontab is no longer maintained. So hopefully this will get fixed in the next couple of days. Thanks for jumping in anyway. Best regards, Karol Babioch
