[aur-general] kdeplasma-addons-applets-daisy: unmaintained duplicate, can probably go.
Hi, kdeplasma-addons-applets-daisy http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31392 is unmaintained and duplicates plasma-daisy-plasmoid http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25203 so can probably be safely deleted. Incidentally, is there any naming convention for KDE plasmoid packages? A quick search reveals a whole range of approaches: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=plasm&do_Search=Go Appending -plasmoid seems the most popular, but having kdeplasma-addons or something simliar at the start of the package name also seems sensible. Thanks, Pete.

kdeplasma-addons-applets-${plasmoid} Since the one following the naming convention is unmaintained, I would suggest adopting it with the contents of the other one. But I have no problem with deleting it, since it meets most of the criteria for removal. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

Sounds sensible - I'm happy to adopt the unmaintained one, but I notice that Bram Schoenmakers is maintaining the other version so should have first refusal. (cc Bram) Cheers, Pete.

Yes, it would be up to Bram. He could either: 1) keep on maintaining current package 2) disown current package and adopt the orphan 3) disown current package and let someone else (you) adopt the orphan -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD
2010/6/14 Ray Rashif <schivmeister@gmail.com>: Hi,
Is it that important, the naming convention? Still, I have no problem with taking option 2. Downside is that the current package loses its votes. Not that I attach much value to that, but maybe someone else cares. :) Kind regards, -- Bram Schoenmakers What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind. (Punch, 1855)

Nope, not that important or big of a deal (at least not as long as it's in [unsupported]). The only benefit is that you stay in line with the naming in [extra], so it would then be more search-friendly. And yes, the votes will be lost, but they can grow again :) In any case, let us know which option you're comfortable with so we can remove one of them. If you do go with (2), I'd suggest that you add: replaces=('plasma-daisy-plasmoid') Or with (1), you could: provides=('kdeplasma-addons-applets-daisy') -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

Yes, whatever the importance or lack thereof of naming conventions, I was just pointing out the duplication. There should be only one package, at least. Pete.

I adopted the orphan package with the proper name and replaced it with my PKGBUILD. I will update this one in the future, so I'm fine with removing the old one (plasma-daisy-plasmoid, http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25203 ). Kind regards, -- Bram Schoenmakers What is mind?
