I don't care about the package, but you're factually incorrect; everything is pushed there:

❯ tree -a fuck fuck ├── f-bomb-1.0.0.tar.gz ├── fuck-1.0.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst ├── .git // internals ├── PKGBUILD └── .SRCINFO

This is obviously not the right way to publish a package, and I'm not sure why it's not visible on the web (it isn't). But all the necessary files are there.

Hi,

I'd like to request deletion of the AUR repo "fuck" (https:// aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=fuck <https:// aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=fuck>).

The repo was created by eshnd in September 2025 with three throwaway commits ("test", "added all", "/"). No valid PKGBUILD or .SRCINFO was ever pushed, so the package doesn't appear in AUR search or have a package page. It's effectively a name squat on an empty repo.

I have a legitimate package I'd like to publish under this name.

Thanks, Ronan

Leaving the choice of name aside... There were deletion requests six months ago. https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org/m... https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org/m... Didn't look up the confirmation, but the way deletion requests work they remove it from the aurweb (which is the case), but the corresponding repo is not removed (which is why it can be still be viewed/cloned). Best regards

So how can a new package with this name be created? On Sun, Mar 15, 2026 at 7:01 PM Sam K <samk26633@gmail.com> wrote:

So does that mean a package with that name can never be created again, even after the original package is deleted?
